EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Deianeira receiving the poisoned tunic from Nessus, and the wounded centaur falling to the ground at left". Christian Gottfried Schulze brings to life a dramatic moment from Greek mythology. The image, created in 1778, showcases Schulze's exceptional engraving skills and attention to detail. At the center of the composition stands Deianeira, a female figure dressed in flowing garments. She reaches out with trepidation as she receives a tunic from Nessus, a mythical centaur. Unbeknownst to her, this seemingly innocent gift is laced with poison that will bring about tragic consequences. To the left of Deianeira lies Nessus on the ground, his body writhing in pain after being struck by an arrow. His agony is palpable as he succumbs to his wounds while fulfilling his sinister plan. Schulze's mastery of line work and shading creates a sense of depth and movement within this scene. The contrast between light and dark enhances the intensity of emotions portrayed by each character. This print not only showcases Schulze's artistic prowess but also pays homage to Peter Paul Rubens' original painting on which it is based. As part of The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, it serves as a testament to both German artistry and enduring fascination with mythological narratives throughout history.
