"Yet it is certain that the power to produce this delight, does not reside in nature, but in man, or in a harmony of both." Ralph Waldo Emerson uses this idea in his essay "Nature". This artwork encapsulates this idea in a beautiful and enchanting way. The slurring and flowing stars, the gaseous masses, and the wonderful use of color all work together to create the figment of a human skull, which demonstrates that nature is made beautiful by man. The harmony of man and nature proposed by Emerson is further validated by the stunning beauty of this piece of art.
