This one might not be obviously-seasonal at first glance, but stick with it. "Autunno" is part of a four-part series — "Quattro Stagioni" (Four Seasons) — by American artist Cy Twombly (via Tate). The series, which Twombly began painting in 1993, highlights all four season, with "Autunno" boasting the richest hues of the bunch. According to The Guardian, Twombly was influenced by the Bassano in Teverina seasonal wine harvest — in fact, the idea for the entire series began with his love of autumn. Ultimately, the four paintings contend with the passage of time, an inescapably sad concept, especially if you don't want to wave goodbye to brightly-colored fall.
