Segantini 16: Allo scogliersi delle nevi – Bei der Schneeschmelze, 1888

On the other side of the valley you can recognize the barn in the upper right half of the picture. The original fountain must have stood very close to the current fountain in front of the church of Nossadonna.

Giovanni Segantini often painted motifs of peasant life. The picture shows the unity of man and animal. Both have to submit to the course of the times of day and seasons that determine their lives.
