Evening landscape 

Peter Becker created this Evening Landscape. Notice the radiant light, a motif with roots stretching back to antiquity. The halo effect, often seen in depictions of gods and saints, is here expanded to encompass the entire sky. The landscape is bathed in this holy light, a divine illumination that transcends mere representation. Consider, too, how light has been used to denote spiritual awakening, divine intervention, or the presence of the sacred, like in Caravaggio’s Conversion of Saint Paul. This symbol has undergone countless transformations, yet its core essence remains. It evokes a sense of awe and reverence, tapping into our collective memory of light as a source of life and enlightenment. The motif of light, as seen here, resurfaces, evolves, and takes on new meanings across history.
