About the piece
Painted in 1810 by Danish artist Christian Gottlieb Kratzenstein-Stub, this neoclassical work captures the profound melancholy of the mythological Alcyone. Seated upon a rugged cliffside, her luminous pink drapery contrasts sharply with the deep, brooding tones of the sea and the gathering storm, embodying the tension of early romanticism within a classical framework.
