EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Franz von Stuck's masterpiece, "Amazon on Horseback". The bronze sculpture, adorned with a rich brown patina, stands proudly on a grey granite plinth. With its origins in the late nineteenth century, this early twentieth-century artwork beautifully combines mythology and modern art. In this close-up shot, we witness the intense hunt as an Amazon warrior charges forward on horseback. The rider's strong and determined posture is accentuated by his raised arms and open mouth, ready to strike with his weapon. The artist skillfully captures the dynamic action of the equine beneath him - its legs raised high in mid-gallop. The fine decorative technique used to create this sculpture highlights every detail of the horse's skin and musculature. Against a pristine white background, von Stuck's representation of strength and power becomes even more pronounced. As we delve deeper into this image, symbolism emerges from within. The agony depicted here suggests suffering endured by both human and animal alike. Despite their pain, they remain resolute in their pursuit. Displayed indoors within a private collection, this work of German art transcends time through its enduring beauty. It serves as a testament to von Stuck's mastery in metalwork and his ability to evoke emotion through artistic expression.
