"Castle (Castle Fairy Tale)" (1909) by Mikalojus Konstantinas Ciurlionis (1875-1911) is a fantastical depiction of a castle perched atop a mountain, surrounded by a vibrant blue sky dotted with clouds. The use of swirling lines and symbolic imagery, characteristic of Ciurlionis’s style, contributes to the dreamlike atmosphere of the painting. This piece exemplifies the artist's fascination with the spiritual and mystical elements of Lithuanian folklore and the search for universal truth in the natural world.
