"Les Quatre Saisons" (The Four Seasons) is a series of paintings by the French Rococo artist Nicolas Lancret (1690–1743), which depicts pastoral scenes emblematic of the four seasons of the year. Created in the 18th century, these works exemplify the Rococo style, characterized by its lightness, grace, and use of delicate colors. Lancret, a student of Claude Gillot and a contemporary of Antoine Watteau, was known for his fêtes galantes, a genre of painting depicting the outdoor amusements of French high society.

Each painting in the "Les Quatre Saisons" series represents a different season through the portrayal of leisure activities enjoyed by the aristocracy during that time of year. The series is a testament to Lancret's ability to capture the ephemeral qualities of light and atmosphere, as well as the transient pleasures of life. His work often reflects the influence of the theatre and ballet, which is evident in the dynamic compositions and the theatrical postures of the figures within these paintings.

The series includes "Le Printemps" (Spring), "L'Été" (Summer), "L'Automne" (Autumn), and "L'Hiver" (Winter). Each painting not only illustrates the seasonal activities but also conveys the mood and sensibilities associated with each season. For instance, "Le Printemps" may show figures engaging in courtship and revelry amidst blooming flowers, while "L'Hiver" might depict a more intimate indoor scene with individuals seeking warmth and comfort.

Lancret's "Les Quatre Saisons" is celebrated for its charm, wit, and the artist's skillful rendering of textiles and nature. The series has been appreciated for its historical value, providing insight into the social customs and fashions of the French Regency period. These paintings are held in various art collections and have been exhibited in prominent museums, contributing to Lancret's reputation as one of the foremost painters of the Rococo movement.

The "Les Quatre Saisons" series is not only a significant work in Nicolas Lancret's oeuvre but also an important representation of 18th-century French art. It continues to be studied by art historians and enjoyed by audiences for its aesthetic beauty and as a cultural artifact of its time.
