I have sometimes seen in the sky what seemed like forms of spirits (plate 21)

"I have sometimes seen in the sky what seemed like forms of spirits (plate 21)" exemplifies a Symbolism approach, where dreamlike and ethereal figures evoke a sense of mystery and the intangible. Created through lithography on paper, this symbolic painting captures the spiritual realm beyond physical reality. Its subtle forms and atmospheric qualities align with the tradition of the nude as a vessel of deeper meaning—reflecting the era’s social attitudes toward nudity while exploring the complex iconography of spirits and the unseen, resonating with the evolution of art’s engagement with the metaphysical.
