Kupka combines verticals and diagonals in this painting to create a sense of strength and tension respectively like a muscle held tautly. This piece is part of a series of similar works by Kupka called Vertical and Diagonal Planes likely inspired by the architecture of the Gothic cathedrals in Paris. The use of vibrant blues and reds is reminiscent of the stained glass windows often seen in these grand places of worship. Kupka's own spirituality was much more focused around mysticism, however, the majesty of the grand Gothic cathedrals transcends religion.
