Dancing circle (Stuck)

This cropped version of Franz von Stuck’s “Dancing circle” eliminates the surrounding trees to focus intensely on the allegorical choreography of the young women. On a carpet of grass dotted with flowers, their supple silhouettes dressed in light veils launch into perpetual motion. Their faces, half-veiled by the intoxication of the dance and the breeze, convey a mystical ecstasy in the heart of nature. The fluid brushstrokes and cold colors (a dominance of blues, greens, and grays) typical of this period of the artist create a striking contrast with the warmth of the action. An artwork full of vitality and harmony.
