About the piece
Created in 1872, Gustave Moreau's 'Dejanira (Autumn)' depicts the mythological abduction of Dejanira by the centaur Nessus. A masterpiece of Symbolism, the work employs a glowing autumnal palette and intricate brushwork to create a dreamlike atmosphere. The vertical composition masterfully balances the dynamic, central figures with the stillness of the surrounding golden trees and towering cliffs.
