Pascoli alpini is a 1897 oil by Giovanni Segantini, a Symbolism work, held at Kunsthaus Zürich.
This painting shows a serene landscape with a shepherd and his flock of sheep. The shepherd sits on a rock, looking down, while the sheep graze peacefully in the foreground. In the background, a lake and mountains are visible under a blue sky. The artist's use of color and light creates a sense of calm and tranquility, drawing the viewer's eye to the shepherd and his flock. The brushstrokes are loose and expressive, adding to the overall sense of movement and life in the scene. For more works like this, explore the art of Giovanni Segantini.
