About the piece
Created in 1887 by Hans Canon, this dynamic oil sketch captures the eternal struggle between light and shadow. A radiant chariot led by luminous horses surges across a golden sky, casting down dark, chaotic figures into a swirling gloom. The loose, energetic brushwork characteristic of a 'modello' adds a sense of movement and immediacy to this powerful allegorical scene.
