Angel in a Cemetery
by Vasily Alexandrovich Kotarbinsky
Polish, 1848-1921
Vasily Alexandrovich Kotarbinsky was a Polish symbolist painter known for his historical and fantastical subjects. Kotarbinsky’s works often evoke a sense of mysticism and are rich in symbolic meaning. His paintings typically feature elements of mythology, religion, and history, rendered with a romantic and often melancholic tone.
In "Angel in a Cemetery" The six-winged angel, which could be interpreted as a seraphim based on biblical descriptions, hovering in a cemetery beside a river, suggests a scene filled with symbolism. The seraphim are known to be the highest order of angels, often associated with light and purity.
Kotarbinsky’s choice to depict the angel as ghost-like could imply the ethereal and otherworldly nature of spiritual beings, as well as the thin veil between life and death. This artwork likely evokes contemplation on mortality, the soul’s journey, and the hope of divine presence even in the final resting place. Such a piece would be rich in emotional and spiritual depth, inviting viewers to reflect on the profound themes it represents.
