This translation formed the basis for a work with the same title by Gottfried van Swieten, which became the libretto for Haydn's oratorio The Seasons.[8] Artists such as Thomas Medland, Anker Smith and John Neagle (1792) created engravings to accompany the poems.[9] A bathing scene from Summer inspired paintings by Thomas Gainsborough, William Etty (Musidora: The Bather 'At the Doubtful Breeze Alarmed') and Johann Sebastian Bach the Younger. The piece was translated into French by the naturalist Joseph-Philippe-François Deleuze (1753-1835). Oscar Wilde included this poem, only half-sarcastically, in a list of 'books not to read at all' " (Wikipedia).
