The artwork, titled **”Eight World – Lament Over the Cosmic Egg”**, was created by **Ernst Fuchs** in **1947**. This symbolic painting is representative of the **Fantastic Realism** movement.
In the artwork, a vibrant, ethereal scene unfolds against a mystic backdrop. A dominant figure, a surreal, humanoid entity with flowing red hair and skin tones of deep magenta, stands prominently on the left. This figure seems to be interacting with celestial bodies, symbolized by luminous orbs suspended in a variegated, celestial sky. Adjacent to this figure is a dark, antlered silhouette, juxtaposed against the luminous tones, adding a layer of enigma. At the center, a cosmic egg ensnared in an intricate, organic lattice, radiates an aura of primordial energy. Nearby, another oval object lies on the ground, its surface adorned with mysterious patterns. The lower section of the painting is rich with geometric shapes and abstract forms, grounding the otherworldly scene with hints of symbolism and metaphysical inquiry.
