He died in 1899, aged just 41. It’s clear that his hard life had weakened his system & he died of peritonitis. It’s tragic that despite his acclaim he died poor & with much anxiety.

Money problems led to the family moving to Graubünden in 1886. de Dragon advised Segantini to use the divisionist technique to make his colours pop. The result met with popular admiration. Portrait after Death (1884-6), Ave Maria Crossing the Lake (1886) & Landscape (1885)

They moved to Pusiano in 1880 & then Carella. There he painted in the mountains en plein air. He completed Ave Maria which won him a gold medal at the 1883 World’s Fair, Amsterdam. Pike & Roses (1882), Girl with Lamb (1882-3), Father is Dead (1882) & Shepherd in Love (1881-2)
