Head of Medusa - Anselm Feuerbach
The frozen tragedy of Medusa’s Head, sublimated by Anselm Feuerbach
The composition of Medusa’s Head strikes with its dramatic contrast and subtle palette: pale skin tones, deep shadows, and reddish accents that enliven the gaze. Feuerbach’s precise technique combines classical craftsmanship and romantic sensitivity, where every detail of the hair, eyes, and skin contributes to an atmosphere both mournful and contemplative. The central face, rendered with psychological intensity, captures the light like a tragic memory. This visual reading highlights the narrative power of the work, capable of occupying space and evoking lasting emotion.
By Anselm Feuerbach, master of revisited neoclassicism
Anselm Feuerbach (1829–1880) belongs to a neoclassical vein influenced by antiquity and the 19th-century German pictorial tradition. Trained with a strong taste for sculpture and classical literature, he favors clarity of lines and nobility of subjects, while introducing a psychological intensity that brings his canvases closer to reflective romanticism. His major works renewed the approach to mythological and tragic themes, imposing a rigorous sense of composition and sober elegance that still inspire collectors and art historians. Feuerbach helped redefine ideal beauty in painting by marrying formal rigor and contained emotion.
