Work narrative
History
Created in the late 19th or early 20th century, it reflects the European academicism that Arias adopted in Paris, combined with an allegorical approach.
The work symbolizes renewal and youth, associated with the spring season, a common theme in neoclassical 19th-century sculptures.
Its location in La Serena responds to the urban beautification project with Chilean heritage art.
