"The Four Seasons (Holl. XI 300-303)" is a series of engravings by the Dutch printmaker Hendrick Goltzius, created in the late 16th century. Goltzius, renowned for his virtuosity in engraving, was a leading figure in the Northern Mannerist movement, which was characterized by its complex compositions, elongated figures, and highly refined technique. The series comprises four individual prints, each representing one of the seasons—Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter—and is celebrated for its intricate detail, allegorical content, and the masterful use of the burin, a tool used in engraving.

Each print in "The Four Seasons" series is not only a depiction of the seasonal landscape and activities associated with the time of year but also an allegorical representation that includes figures from classical mythology, which was typical of the Mannerist style. The engravings are known for their dynamic compositions and the skillful way in which Goltzius rendered textures and natural elements, such as foliage and clouds, as well as the human form.

Hendrick Goltzius (1558–1617) was an influential printmaker and draftsman of the Dutch Golden Age, whose work bridged the gap between the Renaissance and Baroque periods. His "The Four Seasons" series reflects the artist's interest in humanist themes and his ability to translate these into visual form with great artistic finesse. The series is an important part of Goltzius's oeuvre and contributes to our understanding of the Northern Renaissance's engagement with classical themes and the natural world.

The engravings of "The Four Seasons" are held in various collections around the world and continue to be studied for their technical excellence and their place within the context of late 16th-century European art. They exemplify Goltzius's contribution to the development of printmaking as a fine art and stand as a testament to the enduring appeal of allegorical and mythological imagery in the visual arts.
