The Awakening of Spring
Arnold Böcklin1880
Kunsthaus Zürich
Zurich, Switzerland
The theme of the personified spring plays an important role in Böcklin's work, especially in the Florentine years since 1874. The present design is inspired by Botticelli's 'Primavera' and belongs to the pictorial inventions that made Böcklin the forefather of Art Nouveau.
