More about this artwork

"Sterrenbeeld Tweelingen," a striking work by Dutch artist Henri van der Stok, offers a compelling visual interpretation of the Gemini zodiac sign. Created during a period stretching from 1880 to 1946, this piece showcases van der Stok's deep engagement with symbolist and art nouveau influences.In this monochromatic print, two central figures, muscular and poised, suggest the twin aspect of Gemini. They are depicted in a dynamic, overlapping posture that exudes both strength and grace. The figures are adorned with helmets and intricate armor, enhancing their mythological essence. One of the twins holds what appears to be the reins of a horse, adding to the motif a classical association with movement and dexterity, qualities often attributed to those born under the Gemini sign.Behind these figures, the background is filled with celestial elements such as stars and a comet, embedding the scene firmly in a cosmic setting. The artwork's border is richly decorated with geometrical patterns and symbols linked to astrology, which alludes to the mystical and interpretative nature of zodiac signs.
