Is this painting not the ideal embodiment of this song?
The song:
The opening to Also Sprach Zarathustra, by Richard Strauss, based on the book by Nietzsche Also known as the opening to 2001: a Space Odyssey.
The painting:
Red Sunset on the Dnieper, by Arkhip Ivanovich Kuindzhi. Viewable at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. http://www.metmuseum.org/works_of_art/collection_database/european_paintings/...
What a beautiful painting. It suits the music very good.

No, the ideal embodiment was created by Stanley Kubrick for the opening credits of his film 2001: A Space Odyssey. this painting does remind me of the neolithic sequence that starts the film tho.
