| The Seasons by Alphonse Mucha (1860–1939) from Gallery 19C
Mucha’s first design for a decorative ensemble of artistic lithographs, The Seasons— created in 1896— remains one of the artist’s most recognizable pieces from La Belle Époque.
Comprised of Automne, Hiver, Printemps, and Été, the four nymph-like figures are characteristically posed within their seasonal settings, while also embodying the associated temperament of each stage. Autumn is fruitful and abundant, Winter is frosty and reclusive, Spring is innocent and fair, and Summer is sultry and beguiling.
This past weekend, we bid Printemps farewell and welcomed Été with open arms.
