FEUERBACH, Anselm: Medea with Child

🖼 Medea with Child, 1868

Shadowed anguish fills Medea's face as she clutches her child, rendered in dramatic chiaroscuro with rich, muted tones. Feuerbach transforms the classical tragedy into intimate psychological drama, capturing the mother's internal torment before infanticide—reinterpreting ancient myth through 19th-century emotional intensity.
