More about this artwork

This extraordinary painting by Mikalojus Konstantinas Čiurlionis, titled "The Sun is Passing the Sign of Capricorn," is part of his "Zodiac" cycle, which adds a deeper layer of symbolism and mysticism to his work.In this painting, we observe a mystical and serene nocturnal landscape, dominated by a dark, starlit sky sprinkled with golden dots that likely represent stars. This celestial backdrop sets a vast and timeless atmosphere. Below the sky, there is a horizontally stretched entity, possibly a distant horizon or a body of water, which reflects the objects above it, creating a dual image – one in the 'real' world and the other in its reflection.At the heart of the painting stands a distinct, symmetrical structure that suggests a monumental figure or totem. This figure, which divides the canvas into symmetrical halves, extends upwards piercing through what could be interpreted as the surface of water or horizon, bridging the realms above and below. This structure is composed of a series of shapes culminating in two elongated, antenna-like extensions.

Mikalojus Konstantinas Čiurlionis (1875–1911) stands among Lithuania’s most esteemed cultural icons, recognized for blending national traditions with the broader currents of European art and music. As an innovative composer and visionary painter, Čiurlionis’s multidisciplinary accomplishments have garnered him international acclaim. He composed almost 400 pieces, among them symphonic poems like "In the Forest" and "The Sea," and played a pivotal role in shaping Lithuanian national music.

Although his painting career spanned just six years, Čiurlionis produced more than 300 paintings and numerous graphic works, exploring photography and literary pursuits as well. His art is marked by profound symbolism, spiritual depth, and a dreamlike merging of musical and visual expression. Čiurlionis’s fascination with life’s mysteries can be seen in his frequent engagement with mythology, astronomy, nature, and philosophy, resulting in poetic naming and cyclical series such as “Sonata of the Sea.”
