"Seasons" is a 1895 artwork by the Czech Art Nouveau artist Alphonse Mucha. The piece depicts four women, each representing a season. The figures are stylized with flowing lines and sinuous curves, characteristic of the Art Nouveau movement. The figures are surrounded by stylized floral and botanical motifs, emphasizing the natural world's cyclical rhythms. Mucha’s artistic style, heavily influenced by the ideals of the Art Nouveau movement, became hugely popular throughout the 1890s.
