About the piece
Painted in 1836 by Eduard Magnus, this dramatic work captures the 'Return of the Palikare' (Heimkehr des Palikaren), a Greek revolutionary hero. The composition centers on the tender reunion of the father with his young family, all bathed in the warm, atmospheric light of a setting sun that illuminates the rugged coast and distant sea.
