This lithograph, titled Aan de zon, dates from 1895 and reflects the artist's interest in theosophical concepts and symbolic representation. The composition features a central figure, viewed from behind, with arms raised towards a radiant sun containing the word SAT. The term refers to the Sanskrit concept of truth or existence, which aligns with the handwritten note on the print referencing light and truth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe visual language employed here is characteristic of the late nineteenth-century Symbolist movement. De Bazel uses a controlled, linear approach to define the figure and the surrounding aura. The radiating lines around the sun create a sense of vibration and energy, contrasting with the solid, dark form of the robed figure. The geometric patterns on the figure's garment suggest a ritualistic or ceremonial context, typical of the artist's interest in historical and mystical iconography. The print is mounted on a larger sheet of paper, which includes the artist's signature, date, and professional details, indicating its status as a deliberate, finished graphic work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDe Bazel's work often sought to integrate architecture with the decorative arts, and this print demonstrates his ability to translate complex philosophical ideas into a clear, graphic format. The balance between the dark, grounded figure and the light, celestial sun creates a tension that invites contemplation. The work remains a clear example of the Dutch Symbolist aesthetic, where line and form are used to communicate metaphysical ideas rather than purely representational subjects. This print offers a glimpse into the intellectual climate of the period, where artists frequently looked beyond the material world for inspiration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/voetpad-met-wilg-en-dorpje-aan-de-horizon-richard-nicolaus-roland-holst\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eVoetpad met wilg en dorpje aan de horizon - Richard Nicolaüs Roland Holst — Richard Nicolaüs Roland Holst\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/la-petite-toilette-charles-maurin\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eLa Petite Toilette - Charles Maurin — Charles Maurin\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Karel Petrus Cornelis de Bazel","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58443601379663,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58443603607887,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58443603640655,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58443603673423,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58443603706191,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58443603738959,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58443603771727,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58443603804495,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58443603837263,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58443603870031,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58443603902799,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58443603935567,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Aan-de-zon_Poster_CompositorV1_1786232650025.jpg?v=1786415245","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/aan-de-zon-karel-petrus-cornelis-de-bazel","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
