More about this artwork

Rythmus (1909) by Charles Mertens is a striking and ethereal work that captures the dynamic energy and movement inherent in the universe's rhythm. Set within a circular format that emphasizes the continuous flow and cycle of life, this monochromatic painting presents a mesmerizing scene populated with figures that seem to transcend time and space.The composition is anchored by a radiant light source at the bottom center, suggesting the emergence or setting of the sun. Around this focal point, celestial and earthly beings intertwine in a harmonious dance. Angels and mythical figures, rendered with fluid lines and delicate shadings, float gracefully, suggesting motion through the spiritual realm. Below, human figures, depicted in various poses of rest and interaction, connect the scene to the tangible world.Mertens masterfully uses the play of light and shadow to give depth to the scene and emphasizes the cyclical and interconnected nature of existence. The overall effect is one of a grand cosmic ballet, where every entity contributes to the universal melody of life.
