Prelude 1908

"Prelude" (1908) is a pencil drawing by Lithuanian symbolist artist Mikalojus Konstantinas Ciurlionis. The artwork features a crescent-shaped object floating in a sea, with a radiant light emanating from the upper portion of the composition. Its minimalist design is reminiscent of Ciurlionis' other works, which often explored themes of music, nature, and the cosmos. "Prelude" is a testament to Ciurlionis' unique style and vision, and is considered a pivotal work in the development of Lithuanian art.
