The ride (Stuck)

Franz von Stuck’s “The ride” is an exuberant celebration of pagan joy and mythological harmony. On this monumental square canvas, a powerful black centaur gallops across a spring meadow sprinkled with small white flowers. On his back, three ravishing naked nymphs, crowned with flowers, cling with grace and carelessness. The centaur, his head raised to the sky, blows passionately into his rustic flute. The vitality of the movement is captured by a lively brush, while the light tones of the female flesh oppose majestically the dark mass of the creature. A vibrant hymn to wild nature and carefree eroticism.
