"Awakening Spring" (French: "Le Printemps s'éveille") is a painting by Luc-Olivier Merson, a French academic painter and illustrator whose work is often associated with the Symbolist movement and the academic art of the late 19th century. Merson, born in Paris on May 21, 1846, and passing on November 13, 1920, was known for his historical and mythological scenes, as well as his religious compositions.

The painting "Awakening Spring" depicts the personification of spring as a young figure emerging from a wintry landscape, symbolizing the renewal and rebirth associated with the season. Merson's use of allegory and personification is typical of the Symbolist approach, which sought to express ideas and emotions through powerful visual metaphors.

In "Awakening Spring," Merson's mastery of light and shadow, as well as his delicate handling of color, contribute to the ethereal and poetic quality of the work. The figure of Spring is often rendered with a sense of gentle movement, as if she is slowly stirring from a deep slumber, bringing warmth and life back to the world with her awakening.

While the exact date of the painting's creation is not well-documented, it is likely from the later period of Merson's career, when he had fully developed his style and was enjoying considerable success as an artist. Merson's works were exhibited at the Paris Salon, where he received several medals and honors, and his paintings are now held in various museums and private collections around the world.

"Awakening Spring" is emblematic of Merson's ability to blend classical themes with a modern sensibility, creating works that resonated with the tastes of his contemporaries while also exploring timeless themes of nature and transformation. The painting is a testament to the enduring appeal of Symbolist art and its capacity to evoke the mystical and the sublime through visual representation.
