With Autumn officially starting at the point of the Autumn Equinox that took place on 22nd September, and ending with the Winter Solstice which takes place 21st December, we are now officially in the middle of the season.
Autumn is undoubtedly one of the most interesting and atmospheric seasons to observe. With its richness of colour, the rotting leaves and the texture they leave in the landscape once they've fallen from the tree, the smell of the air, the fog, the sharpness of the night sky and the light that changes with the season.
With the visual and sensory stimulation that autumn provides, it's no wonder that writers, poets and artists throughout history have found it such an abundant source of inspiration.
A few examples of famous works of art depicting Autumn include:
 |
| 'Autumn Effect at Argenteuil' by Claude Monet, 1873 |
 |
| 'Autumn' by Guiseppe Arcimboldo, 1573 |
 |
| 'Les Alyscamps' by Vincent Van Gogh, 1888 |
Alfies is home to a wonderful collection of dealers, with artworks that span many periods and styles. With this in mind we looked around for pieces on offer that reflect the current season and collected together some of our favourites.
