One of the most awesome painting ever worldpaintings: Giovanni Segantini The Fountain of Youth, 1896, oil on canvas, 69 x 100 cm, Galleria Civica d’Arte Moderna, Milan, Italy. The fountain of immortality or eternal youth evokes notions of purification and regeneration. It is related to the fascination of human beings with water and with the benefits for those who would drink it. One of its origins would be the lost Garden of Eden. It is part of imaginary paradises like the philosopher’s stone, the elixir of a long life, the universal panacea.
