"The Wine Harvest, Allegory of Autumn" is an engraving created by Philip Galle, based on a design by the Flemish artist Giovanni Stradano, also known as Jan van der Straet. This work is part of a series that depicts the four seasons, with this particular piece representing autumn. The engraving captures the essence of the harvest season, showcasing the bustling activity associated with the collection and processing of grapes to produce wine.

In the foreground, the image is filled with figures engaged in various stages of the wine harvest. Workers can be seen picking grapes, transporting baskets laden with the fruit, and pressing the grapes to extract the juice. The composition reflects the communal nature of the harvest, with men, women, and children all contributing to the effort. The background typically features a landscape that further emphasizes the season, often with a representation of the changing foliage and the abundance of the harvest.

Philip Galle (1537–1612) was a prominent Dutch engraver, printer, and publisher known for his skill in translating paintings into engravings. His collaboration with Stradano, a painter and draftsman who spent much of his career in Florence, Italy, resulted in a series of engravings that were widely disseminated and celebrated for their intricate detail and artistic merit.

"The Wine Harvest, Allegory of Autumn" not only serves as a visual representation of the season but also carries allegorical meaning, with autumn often symbolizing maturity, abundance, and the culmination of the year's labors. The engraving is a testament to the collaborative efforts of Galle and Stradano and remains an important work within the canon of Northern Renaissance art for its technical execution and thematic richness.
