Aurora, from Behind Saint

Cornelius Christoffels

National Gallery of Art

The image displays a central arrangement of elongated, pointed yellow lines radiating outward in a circular formation. At the core, an oval shape with red lines converging at its center is divided into three sections. The bottom section looks like a textured stone or earth. The overall composition resembles a sun or radiant celestial object with a structured, abstract form.
