Prelude 1908

"Prelude," a 1908 painting by Lithuanian symbolist artist Mikalojus Konstantinas Ciurlionis, depicts a fantastical scene with a large, winged figure soaring above a mountain peak, likely representing a spiritual awakening or ascension. The painting's soft, dreamlike imagery and muted colors evoke a sense of mystery and wonder, characteristic of Ciurlionis's unique style. This artwork, like many of his other works, explores themes of nature, music, and the divine, often drawing inspiration from Lithuanian folklore and mythology. The painting is a testament to the artist's ability to capture the essence of spirituality and the sublime through his evocative imagery.
