The Four Seasons and Visual Art (Autumn)

Vivaldi's Concerto No. 3 in F major Op. 8 (or 'Autumn') from The Four Seasons is also known as the "Danza Pastorale, because of it's celebration of the pleasure of the rich harvest and the 'freely flowing cup of Bacchus'. So, based on this theme, we've been exploring some of our favourite images related to it:

1. Eric Gill (1882-1940)
Autumn Midnight 1923


2. Paul Gaugin (1848-1903)
Harvest: Le Pouldu 1890

3. Eileen Agar (1899-1991)
The Reaper 1938


4. John Hubbard (b. 1931)
Autumn on the Chesil Bank 1962

5. Cecil Collins (1908-1989)
The Fruit of the Sun 1961
