A new millennium approaches- and young merry gods pass the sun from one millennial shore to the next. They protect it for us earthlings like life itself!
Morning comes after night, the seasons turn, and the planets of the universe revolve while the people of the Earth swim, love, build cities and enjoy warm days.
The painting can be related to Egyptian myths about the transition from night to day – in particular, the myth of the sun god, Ra. During the day, Ra illuminates the Earth while navigating the Nile on a raft in the sky. In the evening, he switches to the raft of the night and traverses the underworld, appearing on the horizon in the morning.
