Scherzo (Sonata of the Sun) 1907

"Scherzo (Sonata of the Sun)" (1907) by Lithuanian symbolist painter Mikalojus Konstantinas Ciurlionis depicts a fantastical landscape with a bridge connecting two towers, a verdant meadow, a stream, and a group of trees in the background. The painting is awash with vibrant colors, including rich greens, yellows, and reds, suggestive of nature's beauty and power. The work exemplifies Ciurlionis's signature style, which combined elements of symbolism and art nouveau with influences from Lithuanian folk art and mythology. "Scherzo" is a powerful and evocative work that continues to fascinate art lovers.
