Giovanni Segantini, Alpine Landscape with a Woman at a Fountain, around 1893

«What I love most is the sun, after the sun spring, then the springs that gush crystal clear from the rocks in the Alps, that trickle in the veins of Earth and flow like the blood in our own veins.» This diary entry, written by Giovanni Segantini on January 1st, 1890, reads like the motif of our painting.
