Question by YodaUnleashed: What artists have drawn or painted the changing seasons?

Again I basically need a list of Artists who\'ve drawn or painted the different seasons i.e Monet\'s poplars. Artists who\'ve drawn the same picture but at different times of the year and so different seasons would be great but those who\'ve painted different seasons intentionally but not necessarily painted the same place are welcome too.

By the way I only want the names of well known artists such as the likes of Monet, Constable, Van G ogh etc Basically artists that are not alive today.

Finally I\'ve also asked some other art related questions, look at my profile and my questions to find them, your help answering any of them would be great.

Many artists, most notably the Impressionist and Post-Impressionist artists, painted several versions of a picture, apart from the well-recognized ones. Claude Monet and Paul Cézanne were two of them. Vincent van Gogh was a Post-Impressionist artist who also painted in subject matter that represented a variety of seasons.

Monet\'s series of paintings, known as his Cathedral Series, includes a painting titled in English, \'Rouen Cathedral, West Facade, Sunlight\' (1894) . Another painting is called \'Rouen Cathedral, Sunset\' (1892-1894). The series is a depiction of the Cathedral of Rouen at different times of the day and in different seasons. It is a noteworthy example.

Paul Cézanne painted a number of renditions of one subject, Mont Ste-Victoire. The mountain does not change much according to season or time of day. Cézanne deliberately painted over 30 versions of this mountain in order to express the idea of permanence. Put another way, he painted Mont Ste-Victoire in order to express his belief that "beneath sift ing appearances was an essential, unchanging armature." zt is for this reason that he could have used changing facets for portraying the same subject.

If you look up the Fauve artists, such as André Derain with his picture of \'Big Ben\' (1905), for example,you might find variations of one painting. Also, the Fauve artist Henri Matisse is known to have painted several canvases of one subject.

You might find some seasonal variations in the paintings of American Symbolist painter Albert Pinkham Ryder (1847-1917). He distinguished himself for his seascapes.
