The Seasons 1897

"The Seasons" is a four-panel artwork by Alphonse Mucha, created in 1897. This Art Nouveau masterpiece, currently housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, depicts four female figures, each representing a different season. The figures are gracefully rendered, their flowing robes and flowing hair blending seamlessly with the floral motifs and natural elements that surround them. The artwork exemplifies Mucha's signature style, characterized by its elegant lines, decorative patterns, and stylized figures. Each panel, measuring 150 × 430 mm, is a testament to Mucha's mastery of composition and his ability to capture the essence of each season.
