Spring in the Alps is a 1899 oil by Giovanni Segantini, a Post-Impressionism work, held at J. Paul Getty Museum.
In the painting, a woman in a blue dress walks along a path, accompanied by two horses pulling a plow. The scene is set against a backdrop of snow-capped mountains and a blue sky with white clouds. In the foreground, rocks and grass are visible. The woman's blue dress stands out against the natural surroundings, while the horses and plow add a sense of activity to the scene. The mountains and sky provide a serene backdrop, creating a sense of contrast between the human activity and the natural world.
