Lithuanian painter and composer Mikalojus Konstantinas Čiurlionis (1875–1911) today. He died at age 35 of pneumonia. Despite Čiurlionis' early death, his legacy survives and you can find a school of art, museum, bridge, and asteroid named for him. I'm sharing one of his songs at the end!

Love his use of light within darkness...very striking.
I've seen The Gift of Friendship before...it is very symbolic!
Thanks, Tabatha. I'm enjoying the fairy tale paintings. They feel so mysterious.
