Spring, alias "Fairy of Spring", is a canvas oil painting created by French neoclassical painter Angel from 1830 to 1856. It is now in the Musee d 'Orsay, France.
The painting uses soft and changeable colors and soft curves to show the classical beauty of women's bodies. The young naked woman was holding a clay pot, and the water in it slowly poured out. Slightly bent knees and the muscle curve shown by lifting the clay pot create an elegant, pure and refined aesthetic feeling.
On the dark background, a naked woman is taking a bath with a pitcher on her back. Her delicate feet are hard blue-gray rocks. A few petite wildflowers are scattered around, setting off a quiet and pure atmosphere. The girl's body is reversed with the posture of Venus of Milo, and it is also displayed in front of her eyes with gentle curve changes.
The girl supported the pitcher on her left shoulder with both hands, and the clear water flowed in the jade-like body. On her expressionless face, there was a pure and innocent expression, especially her beautiful big eyes, full of innocence and as clear as spring water.

Creation background
In the eyes of western classical artists, female images are the objects of their love. Venus de Milo is regarded as an eternal classic, representing the Venus of love and beauty. Even if the arm is broken, it is still a kind of beauty. Titian created Venus in urbino, and Leonardo da Vinci created many female images, which represented the typical images of classical art.
Angel doesn't have many themes. He even paints the same theme over and over again, using the same shape-woman. ?
During the period of 1830, Angel began to draft the work "Spring" during his stay in Florence, Italy, but it was not completed. Until 1856, at the age of 76, he completed this painting with the assistance of his assistants Alexander Legfi and gene paul Etienne Balcer.
Angel's original idea of "spring" is a kind of "Venus" style, imitating the wishes of Italian masters when painting Venus, trying to simplify the image.
