More about this artwork

"Pax," crafted by the Swiss artist Ernst Schiess in 1916, stands as a compelling testament to tranquility and mysticism. In this enigmatic painting, a solitary figure dressed in a radiant white robe appears almost ethereal, as the individual is depicted standing above cerulean waters that stretch toward a mountainous horizon at sunset.The painting's soft, pastel tones and the gentle brushwork create a peaceful atmosphere, emphasizing the theme of peace — the very meaning of the Latin word "pax." The background, with its muted blue and earthy tones, portrays a calm sea beneath a dusky sky, setting a serene stage that contrasts with the vibrant, shimmering silhouette of the figure.Schiess's depiction possibly invokes the notion of an angelic or spiritual presence, embodying peace and calm over the natural world. The fuzzy outlines and minimal detail of the figure and landscape imbue the work with a sense of impermanence and otherworldliness, capturing a moment of quietude and reflection.
