Original Description
Step into the golden elegance of The Four Seasons by Pietro Antonio Rotari, where 18th-century Rococo charm meets allegorical storytelling. This exquisite series depicts four female personifications of Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter, each rendered with Rotari's signature delicate brushwork and tender expressions that made him Catherine the Great's favored portraitist. The paintings shimmer with pastel silks, floral crowns, and seasonal attributes – Spring's blush peonies, Summer's ripe wheat, Autumn's grapes, and Winter's fur-lined cloak – all captured with an intimacy characteristic of Rotari's distinctive "tête-à-fête" portrait style. Created during his St. Petersburg period (1756-62), these works represent the height of international Rococo's migration to Russia, blending Italian virtuosity with French decorative sensibility. Though lesser known than his contemporary Boucher, Rotari's Seasons hold art historical significance as transitional pieces between playful Rococo and emerging Neoclassicism.
For modern interiors, consider hanging Rotari's Seasons as a quartet in formal dining rooms or executive offices where their aristocratic refinement enhances traditional or transitional décors. The ideal setting would feature high ceilings (these works typically measure around 75x60cm each) with moldings painted in Farrow & Ball's "Setting Plaster" to complement the warm umber backgrounds. Position them symmetrically above wainscoting or between floor-to-ceiling bookshelves alongside giltwood sconces. In contemporary spaces, isolate Winter's cool palette against deep navy walls (try Benjamin Moore's "Hale Navy") for dramatic contrast, or group Spring and Summer in sunlit breakfast nooks paired with floral chintz upholstery. The paintings' oval-shaped compositions invite matching oval mirrors or tambour tables, creating rhythmic visual echoes throughout the space. Always illuminate with 2700K LED picture lights to enhance their delicate chiaroscuro.
