Background
“Die vier Jahreszeiten” (The Four Seasons) is a fresco by Victor Surbek from 1951 in the Tiefenauspital in Bern. Surbek, born in Zäziwil in 1885 and died in Bern in 1975, was a Swiss painter, watercolourist, draughtsman, printmaker and illustrator. Under the same title, he had already painted a mural for a drinking hall in Rheinfelden in 1934. Further details on how the fresco in Bern was made are not documented yet.
