Ixion chained in Tartarus

Date: 1824

The painting depicts a young man in classical mythological style preparing to strike a snake lying on top of a dead body. The man is naked, wearing only a white drape over his sex, and exhibits the muscularity and dynamism of the pose. He has dark hair and a focused expression. In one hand he holds a gun, apparently ready to strike. The lighting and detail of the drawing emphasizes the anatomy of the figures and the dramatic tension of the scene.
