  • An image of spring as a symbol of change and renewal. Inspired by the latest artistic developments in cities such as Paris, Berlin, and Vienna, the Finnish artist Akseli Gallen-Kallela created pictures of nature and depicted the myths of his homeland. He achieved his international breakthrough at the Paris Exposition Universelle in 1900; the following year he exhibited at the Vienna Secession. Like the founders of the Secession, he, too, was looking for new forms of expression. By means of stylized shapes and bold colors, in his painting Spring he created a symbol of new beginnings. The first warm rays of sunshine melt the snow and spread positive energy.
