• Support Alt. — In his short life (1875-1911), the little-known (in the West) Lithuanian composer
  Čiurlionis also was amazingly prolific as an artist, leaving an oeuvre of ethereal paintings illustrating philosophical and spiritual themes. This work significantly enhances his WP entry. Sca (talk) 21:43, 17 June 2014 (UTC)[reply

• Support Alt. -- I had never seen his paintings before. I'm not an expert, but they seem to be right on the edge of the change from earlier representative and quasi-representative paintings to 20th-century abstract paintings. I think the Alt. version shows the detail of the tree branches and the robes more than the original version, and those brush strokes and shapes are part of the new abstract feel. --
