St. Moritz’s Master Painter

For centuries, St. Moritz has attracted philosophers, musicians and artists, who have found inspiration and clarity in the crystalline mountain air. One of the most notable among these creative minds belonged to painter Giovanni Segantini, an Italian-born orphan who created masterpieces of realistic symbolism during the late 1800s. Many of his gorgeous depictions of Engadin Valley landscapes and life are displayed today in the Segantini Museum, just a ten-minute walk from the village of St. Moritz Dorf. Lean in close, and you’ll notice how he meticulously placed tiny dabs of different colors next to each other to create vivid scenes that seem to leap from the canvas.
