The Sages' New Pillar

The Sages' New Pillar (Mirselec Maiga ta Ori Histamir) is a famous painting done in 1954 by the modern painter Adresil Mude; it is the Autumn piece of his series titled "Studies of Lake Onetre, 1954".

The angle of the painting is presumably from a boat near the Sages' Pillars, the rock columns standing in the northeast of the lake. In 1945, a reconaissance aircraft crashed into the lake on a mission, killing the pilot; the plane landed sideways and one of its wings protruded above the water, where it stayed. The painting places this protruding wing as the centrepiece, and the titular new pillar amongst the stone pillars.

One of the most famous pieces of modern Risevan painting, this piece was exhibited all around the world over the past decades; the most recent show, from 2036 to 2039, took it to the cities of Garangen, Vyrusa and Ordalon. On his death, Mude bequeathed all his unsold and collected works (which included the whole 1954 series save the winter painting, which was bought by the Kaim Museum in Merinmas) to the Isana Royal Museum of Art, where it is kept on permanent exhibit when not touring.
