Arnold Böcklin's "The Wake-Up Spring" depicts a mythological scene with a satyr playing a pipe, a woman scattering flowers, and two other figures standing in a grove of trees. The painting’s symbolism is open to interpretation, but it likely refers to the awakening of nature in the spring, a common theme in Böcklin's work. The painting's dreamy atmosphere and use of rich colors are characteristic of the Symbolist movement, which emphasized the evocative power of imagery.
