Carl Larsson : Célébration des 25 ans d’Idun (Source : Suède), 1912. Transl: Celebrating 25 years of Idun. Idun is the Norse Goddess of spring, rejuvenation, eternal life and beauty. This illustration reminds me of the May altars we used to make to another 'Goddess' of eternal life - the Virgin Mary :)
