 * Support — Little-known in the West, the Lithuanian composer Čiurlionis also was a prolific artist, producing dozens of dreamy paintings of philosophical and spiritual themes. This work significantly enhances the article. Sca (talk) 21:47, 17 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Support -- Very interesting. At first this painting looks like a very simple landscape with field, shrubs, trees, sky, and clouds. Then the shapes all start looking like something else, and some of the shapes are echoed but in reverse in the clouds. Also, this painting is different enough from the other one that it shows the variety in the painter's repertory, if that's the right word. CorinneSD (talk) 22:31, 17 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment I love the painting, but am a little unsure about the reproduction. Is this image on public display, e.g. we could reasonably expect a better copy at some point? Adam Cuerden (talk) 22:39, 17 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes. They are in the museum, most of them. Have to try to find out. Hafspajen (talk) 22:53, 17 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks! And thanks for the interesting art! Adam Cuerden (talk) 23:00, 17 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Here the museum site in Lithaunia . Here is the painting click on to enlarge... Ciurlionis donated all his work to the Lithuanian  state..
 * Just one little remark - this is a pastel painting. If it looks uneven it can be the medium and the material that is used that might cause it. Pastels do look like this, when used on textured grounds: the use of coarse paper texture creates this effect. Hafspajen (talk) 23:01, 17 June 2014 (UTC)


 * Weak support per Adam Cuerden. A better reproduction might come along, then we can just D&R this one. --Lewis Hulbert (talk) 10:11, 18 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Support Since the image comes from a museum we can reasonably infer it's a faithful representation (be warned however that WikiArt offers a far more satuarated image, but that's a commercial poster and they are indeed very often sexed up to suit the market, not a few unfortunately making their way to Commons).
