Innocence | Karl Wilhelm Diefenbach | 1900

This painting, "Innocence (Girl holding a Snake)" by Karl Wilhelm Diefenbach, circa 1900, depicts a serene and mystical scene. A young girl, with an ethereal glow, is seated in a dark, lush forest setting. The gentle light highlights her figure and the delicate greenery around her. A wreath of leaves adorns her hair, blending her presence into the natural surroundings. She holds a snake in her hands, which is often a symbol of wisdom or temptation in various cultural mythologies, adding a layer of narrative complexity to the work. The mood of the painting is contemplative and harmonious, invoking a sense of unity between human and nature, with an undercurrent of symbolic meaning.
