Door de eeuwen heen 1894

"Door de eeuwen heen" (Through the Ages) is a 1894 drawing by Belgian Symbolist painter Fernand Khnopff. Known for his ethereal and dreamlike imagery, Khnopff's work often explores themes of love, death, and the passage of time. This drawing depicts two figures, a man and a woman, their faces and bodies rendered in soft, delicate lines. The figures' eyes meet in a gaze that is both intimate and intense, suggesting a connection that transcends the physical realm. Khnopff's use of light and shadow creates a sense of mystery and ambiguity, inviting viewers to contemplate the meaning behind this enigmatic scene.
