Abduction of Deianira centaur Nessus

Date: 1755

The painting depicts a scene from Greek mythology where a centaur kidnaps a woman. The male figure of the centaur has a human upper body and a horse lower body. He holds a defenseless woman wrapped in a translucent gauze sheet, her expression is terrified and defensive. Another male figure lies on the ground, appearing to be injured or defeated, with a lama shattered beneath his body. A figure stands in the background with an arm raised, perhaps an appeal or cry for help. The work is executed in a baroque style with dynamic movement and dramatic lighting.
