Altarpiece, No. 2

A pioneering abstract vision of celestial balance, beautifully reproduced as an archival fine-art print or gallery canvas.

Altarpiece, No. 2 by Hilma af Klint — archival fine-art print from Fable

The composition centers on a radiant golden orb, encircled by intersecting celestial rings of soft pink, pale yellow, and sky blue. Below this planetary focal point descends a monumental inverted triangle. A central white column, intricately detailed with spiraling golden scrollwork, bisects deep black geometric tiers against a striking crimson ground, creating a powerful sense of ascending light and cosmic order.

The palette is a bold study in esoteric contrasts. The brilliant gold effect and soft pastel orbits offer a luminous lightness that balances the grounding weight of the deep reds and stark blacks below. This striking dynamic brings a profound sense of spiritual meditation, mystery, and rhythmic harmony to a room.

As a focal point for the home, this piece invites quiet contemplation. It is a natural anchor for a minimalist living room, a dedicated study, or hung above a console in a modern entryway. The geometric precision and vibrant hues transition beautifully across contemporary and eclectic interiors, making it an extraordinary centerpiece for a curated gallery wall.

Painted in 1915 by Swedish visionary Hilma af Klint, this work stands as a cornerstone of early abstract art. We recreate this historic vision as an archival fine-art print or gallery canvas, using museum-grade matte paper and archival pigment inks for lasting vibrancy. Each made-to-order piece is prepared for print by Surrealium at Vaxholm Fortress, Sweden.
