## Caption

"Spring in the Alps" is one of artist Giovanni Segantini's most celebrated pictures. ⁠
⁠
Through its majestic view and minute details, the painting portrays the joyful moment of nature's annual rebirth. But for farmers, the arrival of spring also signals a return to hard work and fatigue, which Segantini captured in the severe expression of the farm woman leading the two draught horses.⁠
⁠
Painted outdoors, the landscape offers a view of Val Bregaglia, a valley in southeastern Switzerland, where Segantini moved with his family in 1894. This view includes the village of Soglio and Fez, Segantini's dog on the right, and the high peaks of the Sciora Massif towering in the background. ⁠
