"Beethoven 2", acrylic on canvas, by Bishop Maxim, 2021
This is a surprising "Beethoven". Hair flies from the urge of inspiration. The eyes - the strongest point of the painting - are in ecstasy. The red cow also participates in ecstasy. A book, a keyboard, and a clock - everything floats, terrified by the invisible waves of fate. The presence of a floating clock is important, indicating the connection between the mystery of time and the mystery of music. Beethoven's wide gaze and the semicircular keyboard indicate the comprehensiveness, enormous energy, and great momentum which envelops the drama of existence, from the germ of the Big Bang to the future mystery (Eschaton).
