About the piece
Attributed to a Central European painter from the late 19th century, this work captures the high drama of Greek mythology with Baroque-inspired intensity. The powerful winged figure of Boreas is shown mid-flight, his muscular form contrasting with the delicate, pale lines of Oreithyia, all rendered against a rich gold background that provides a timeless, iconic quality to the composition.
