FEUERBACH, Anselm: On the Seashore (Modern Iphigenia)

🖼 On the Seashore (Modern Iphigenia), 1875
Düsseldorf, Germany

Draped in classical robes, a solitary woman gazes seaward with melancholic longing, rendered in soft, luminous tones against rocky shores. Feuerbach reimagines the tragic Greek myth of Iphigenia as introspective modernism, merging antiquity with 19th-century psychological depth and Romantic sensibility.
