The delicate lines bring forth an air of sensuality while maintaining an aura of mystery. Fuseli's talent extends beyond mere drawings as seen in "Prometheus Freed by Hercules. " This oil on canvas masterpiece demonstrates his ability to create dynamic compositions filled with strength and power. With "Aufsteigender, " executed in Indian ink on paper, Fuseli explores themes of ascension. The fluidity of his strokes creates a sense of movement that draws viewers into this ethereal realm.
