These four violin concertos — Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter — portray nature through sound, often called “landscapes for the ear.” Each movement was accompanied by a sonnet, believed to have been written by Vivaldi himself, turning this work into a fusion of poetry and music. Spring: birdsong, babbling brooks, peaceful fields Summer: insects buzzing, tension before a storm Autumn: harvest, hunting, a lazy nap Winter: slipping on ice, resting by the fire Composed in the 1720s while Vivaldi taught at the Ospedale della Pietà in Venice, the work later faded from memory before resurging in the late 19th century — eventually becoming an icon of classical music in the 20th century. Then, in 1896, another "Four Seasons" was born. Czech artist Alphonse Mucha, a pioneer of Art Nouveau, released a set of four seasonal posters titled Les Saisons, capturing nature’s moods through female figures and decorative symbolism. Spring: the anticipation of petals and youth Summer: sensuality under the sun Autumn: abundance and introspection Winter: solitude and endurance Mucha didn’t merely decorate the background — every line, every gaze carried emotional weight. Interestingly, the year Mucha published his Seasons was also when Vivaldi’s music began re-emerging across Europe. Two different centuries, two different mediums. But both artists explored how nature and humanity move in cycles — As if the seasons are not just weather, but landscapes of the soul. 💖 Subscribe for more stories from history and the classics!
