More about this artwork

This painting by Mikalojus Konstantinas Čiurlionis, titled "The Sun is Passing the Sign of Cancer," is a fascinating and ethereal depiction that transcends conventional landscape art. The painting, part of his "Zodiac" cycle, portrays an intriguing play of colors and abstract forms.In the composition, the central area features what appears to be a dark architectural form, possibly a bridge or a structure, which stretches across the frame. This linear element creates a striking contrast with the tumultuous, swirling patterns seen in the sky and the foreground, suggesting movement and a transformation.Above, the sky is depicted in layers of yellow, amber, and soft blues, with stars forming a pattern that might represent the constellation of Cancer. This celestial motif, combined with the movement of the clouds, adds a mystical and dynamic element to the painting.The lower part of the painting is dominated by dark, rugged shapes that resemble rocks or rough terrain, imbued with blues and hints of yellow, enhancing the overall atmospheric and slightly foreboding feeling of the painting.Čiurlionis's approach combines elements of symbolism and modernism, as he uses abstract forms and color to evoke rather than depict reality directly. This painting, like much of his work, invites viewers to delve into a world of metaphorical and cosmic significances, exploring themes of time, nature, and the universe through a unique artistic lens.

Mikalojus Konstantinas Čiurlionis (1875–1911) is one of the most renowned Lithuanian artists, having left a vivid and lasting mark on Lithuanian and European culture. A composer, painter, and thinker, Čiurlionis is often compared to Renaissance masters due to the originality and versatility of his creative explorations. In his relatively brief but remarkably intense artistic career, Čiurlionis created around 400 musical compositions, including symphonic poems, piano sonatas, choral works, variation cycles, an overture, and a string quartet.

Within just six years dedicated to painting, the artist produced over 300 paintings, created numerous graphic works, experimented with photography, wrote literary texts, and actively participated in journalism. His artwork stands out for its profound symbolism, philosophical depth, and mysterious metaphorical language. Čiurlionis' art seamlessly connects music with painting, sound with color, visions with dreams, reflecting his deep interest in the structure of the world: geology, history, astronomy, astrology, mythology, and philosophy.
