 In what was to be one of the last paintings of its kind in the era, Segantini planned to present a universal truth: his awe-inspiring triptych Life–Nature–Death portrays human existence in harmonious unison with Nature. In 1897, the artist began planning for the 1900 World Exhibition in Paris a huge alpine panorama that would be hung in a pavilion of his won design. The project did not come to fruition because of teh high costs involved. In the end, Segantini added the new, central picture Nature to the two he had begun previously – Life and Death – thus completing the triptych.
