In honor of the birthday of the great landscape painter Vilhelms Purvītis and the artist's 150th anniversary in 2022, we opened a special art collection tin with Purvītis work “in Spring” (Springtime).

The name of Purvītis has been accumulated by his own image of the native nature, becoming a sign of national identity. At the turn of the century, he was an international recognition of the modern winter and spring motifs in the big European art centers, strengthening his future status in the Latvian art world.

The landscape called "Snow psychologists and physiologists" is mostly known after the many varying views of early north spring, where birch is reflected in the water in the thaw. However, in the portrayal of nature awakening, Ziedonis time was also associated with the time of the white humps to resemble flowering fruit trees and the snow blossomed in the air. Colors in the pure and cheerful painting "Spring" ("Ziedonis") belong to the artist's best known masterpiece, which is included in the list of values of the Latvian Cultural Canon.

Artwork: Vilhelms Purvītis. In Spring (Springtime). 1933 - 1934, collection of the Latvian National Museum of Art.
