De trap des levens 1922

"De trap des levens" (The Stairway of Life), a 1922 design for a stained-glass window by Dutch artist Richard Nicolaüs Roland Holst (1868-1938), depicts a couple embracing in a geometric frame. The design is characterized by its use of bold colors and simple forms, typical of the Art Nouveau style. This design, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Holst's mastery of the medium and his interest in symbolist themes, making it a valuable piece for studying the artistic trends of the early 20th century.
