Rex 1909

"Rex" (1909) by Lithuanian symbolist painter Mikalojus Konstantinas Ciurlionis is an otherworldly depiction of a castle, standing tall above a shimmering globe. The celestial background with stars and a radiant sun suggests a cosmic connection, while the castle's imposing stature and intricate details convey a sense of grandeur and mystery. The artwork is a testament to Ciurlionis' unique ability to translate his dreams and inner visions into symbolic imagery. The painting is currently housed in the Čiurlionis National Art Museum in Kaunas, Lithuania.
