"Sad Hour" (Italian: "L'ora mesta") is a notable painting by the Italian artist Giovanni Segantini, created in 1891. As a prominent figure in Symbolist and Divisionist painting, Segantini was known for his evocative landscapes that often carried allegorical meanings and explored themes of life, death, and nature. "Sad Hour" is no exception, as it encapsulates the artist's fascination with the transient effects of light and his exploration of human emotion through the depiction of the natural world.

The painting features a scene of pastoral melancholy, where the play of light and shadow is central to conveying the mood of the piece. Segantini's mastery of Divisionist techniques is evident in his use of small, distinct strokes of color that blend together to create a luminous and textured surface, capturing the fleeting moment of dusk. The title itself suggests a moment of introspection or sorrow that is universally experienced, yet deeply personal.

Set against the backdrop of the Swiss Alps, a region that Segantini called home for much of his life, "Sad Hour" reflects the artist's intimate connection with the alpine landscape. The mountains, bathed in the soft glow of the setting sun, serve as a powerful symbol of the eternal, contrasting with the transient sorrows of human existence.

As with many of Segantini's works, "Sad Hour" is imbued with a sense of mysticism and spirituality. The painting invites viewers to contemplate the natural cycles of day and night, life and death, and the emotional resonance of the environment. It is a testament to Segantini's ability to transcend the mere representation of landscape, offering instead a profound meditation on the human condition.

"Sad Hour" is considered an important work within Segantini's oeuvre, exemplifying his unique blend of Symbolism and Divisionism, and his contribution to the development of modern art at the turn of the 20th century. The painting is held in high regard by art historians and critics and continues to be studied for its technical innovation and emotive power.
