A Question to the Stars by Carl Wilhelm Diefenbach (1898)
The work of a famous German artist, representative of Symbolism and Art Nouveau style. Having suffered a severe typhoid fever, Karl Wilhelm Diefenbach became an invalid - his right hand remained mangled. He was an adherent of the theory that only a return to a natural, close to nature way of life and natural products can cure many diseases. In 1881, Diefenbach also broke with the official church. Clad in a cassock and sandals, he preached his teachings in Munich.
