- The Seasons is a series of four poems written by the Scottish author James Thomson. The first part, Winter, was published in 1726, and the completed poem cycle appeared in 1730.
Joseph Haydn wrote an oratorio (Hob.XXI:3) on the libretto by Gottfried van Swieten, based on Thomson's poem. The poem was extremely influential, and stimulated also other works, by a.o. Joshua Reynolds, John Christopher Smith, Thomas Gainsborough and J. M. W. Turner.
