"Angel (Angel Prelude)," Mikalojus Konstantinas Čiurlionis, 1909.

The artist was a devout Catholic and an intense visionary, as can be seen by his multiple canvases addressing spiritual and mystical topics. Here we have a chief angel contemplating Creation while other angels climb upwards; are they beginning their journeys?
