EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Franz von Stuck's masterpiece, "Centaur". The bronze sculpture, adorned with a rich brown patina, stands on a bronze base and measures 63 cm in height. With its origins in the late nineteenth century, this early twentieth-century artwork beautifully combines mythology and modern art. In this close-up shot, we witness the intense agony of the half-man creature as it looks away from us. The decorative technique used to create the intricate details is truly remarkable. Against a pristine white background, the male likeness leans back with aversion, evoking a sense of suffering and despair. The artist skillfully captures every element of this mythical creature - from its equine legs raised in anguish to its human-like posture. Symbolism runs deep within this representation; each hair meticulously sculpted to convey an emotional narrative that resonates with viewers. Displayed indoors within a studio setting, "Centaur" exudes German artistry at its finest. This powerful piece by Franz von Stuck invites contemplation on themes such as duality and inner turmoil. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing sculpture, we are transported into a world where horses merge seamlessly with humanity - an artistic exploration that transcends time and captivates our imagination.
