About the piece

Painted in 1868, this work by Eugène Fromentin captures a group of centaurs in a moment of rest and action. The composition skillfully balances the vigorous energy of the archers with the quietude of the figures resting in the grass, all rendered with the luminous color and sophisticated brushwork characteristic of the French Romantic tradition.
