Italienischer Maler des 16. Jahrhunderts
MOUNTAINED LANDSCAPE WITH THE FIGHT OF THE KENTAURS AGAINST PIRATES
Mixed technique on paper.
49,5 x 40 cm.
Behind glass in gilded frame.
In the foreground two centaurs with long spears fighting a lion that has just torn another centaur to the ground, who has probably pierced another feline predator with an arrow before, which lies below him. At the lower left edge of the picture a bow and a quiver with arrows can be seen. In the middle area further centaurs armed with bow and arrow or spear fighting against attacking cats of prey. In the background, in front of a wide mountain range under a blue sky with dense cloud formations, another pair fighting an attacking bull. Representation in reduced colouring. The centaurs, a mixture of horse and man in Greek mythology, were already depicted fighting cats of prey in Roman times; Roman frescoes and mosaics from the Villa Adriana near Tivoli around 118-138 AD (12208112) (2) (18)
