"Aquarius" is a 1907 watercolor painting by Lithuanian symbolist artist Mikalojus Konstantinas Čiurlionis, known for his celestial and musical imagery. The painting depicts a nocturnal scene with a tall, mysterious tower silhouetted against a dark sky, illuminated by a bright, celestial object that resembles a constellation of stars. This painting, like many of Čiurlionis' works, is open to interpretation, inviting viewers to ponder the connection between the earthly and the cosmic. The artist's use of color and light evokes a sense of mystery and awe, emphasizing the power and beauty of the natural world.
