Sagittarius 1907

"Sagittarius" is a 1907 painting by Lithuanian symbolist artist Mikalojus Konstantinas Čiurlionis. The painting depicts a man standing atop a mountain, drawing back a bow and arrow as a bird flies above him. The sky is filled with stars, representing the constellation Sagittarius. This artwork is a prime example of Čiurlionis's use of symbolism and allegory to explore the relationship between humanity and the cosmos. His works often feature celestial motifs, and he is considered a pioneer of Lithuanian art. "Sagittarius" is housed at the Čiurlionis National Art Museum in Kaunas, Lithuania.
