Paul Cezanne, The Four Seasons, 1860-61
Due to the irritating shape of these Cezanne canvases, the image quality is pretty appalling in Tumblr format. For this, I apologise.

I think Spring is particularly beautiful, in the way the flower garland held up by the blonde representation of the first season follows the form of her vermilion dress.
