The scene depicts Saturn, crowned with laurel and dressed in a floral tunic, leading his son Jupiter by the hand. Jupiter is wearing a short red tunic. They walk through a lively landscape filled with various activities, such as loving couples, mating animals, men cutting down trees, a falconer training his hawk, and others building a ship.
Jupiter teaches the importance of seeking personal pleasure and happiness, but the miniature also shows how, for amusement, Jupiter changes the circumstances of humanity, marking the end of the Golden Age and the beginning of more challenging times.
The illustrator chooses to represent Saturn and Jupiter simply as father and son, omitting the scene of Saturn's castration, which symbolizes the change in ages and the transition from the Golden Age to the period of hard work in the Silver Age.
Something that until then no one wanted, among all of them after measuring them. Well, he was wicked and enticing. He was the inventor of other new arts: who deciphered and named the stars; who | had traps, snares, nets set up to capture the beasts of the mountain to which, the first, threw the dogs, practices that no one had used; who trained the birds of prey, something that people became passionate about, and, instead of battle, provoked the assault. |
