Description of the painting by Mikalojus Čiurlionis “Rex”
A multifacetedly talented person, Čiurlionis tried himself in many kinds of creativity. His literary tests and musical scores became revelations for contemporaries. However, his paintings make a difficult impression. The style of symbolism allows you to hide the meaning in a sense, like a nested doll. And who knows how many of these dolls are hiding in each other. Rex gives the impression of a folded universe. One has only to look and comes the understanding that the picture is infinite. You can fall into it, like in a black hole and still not reach the bottom.

The outlines of angels who lay down their wings are placed on the side towers. What are they asking the Creator for? We do not know. Until today, there is no consensus on the content of the picture. And, most likely, it will never appear. Everyone sees their own world and their angels and demons in this canvas. And the main planet is either in the hands, squeezing it, or it serves as the basis for the ghostly throne. The barely marked silhouette in the mantle and crown is immovable and cold. He is absolutely not touched by the tumult of the universe and those disasters that shake all layers of the planet. Behind the back of the throne the silhouette increases and turns into an impregnable fortress with towers and white figures between the teeth. The outlines of angels who lay down their wings are placed on the side towers. What are they asking the Creator for? We do not know.
