About the piece

Painted in 1916 by Latvian artist Jāzeps Grosvalds, this evocative work titled 'Path of the Nightmare' captures a group of figures moving through a spectral forest. The stark contrast between the heavy dark cloaks and the misty, ethereal background creates a sense of profound melancholy and tension, reflective of the era's turmoil.
