Adoration of the Angels in Green

By Adolf Hölzel, 1908. According to the accompanying plaque, the artist focused more on the harmonious placement of forms and colours, and it’s only our cultural preconceptions that let us interpret the painting as a religious scene. I’m not sure I buy that, but it is very pretty so there you go.
