About this work
A kneeling nude hero in a bronze helmet grips a curved sword, his red cloak billowing behind him as a winged horse rears up beside a screaming, snake-haired severed head suspended in the air. A round shield, spears, and coins lie scattered on the ground, while classical temple ruins recede into the distance on the left and crows wheel through smoke on the right.
The scene is saturated in red and gold, with a blazing, smoke-filled sky suggesting fire behind the figures. Strong directional light models the muscular body and the horse's coat in crisp detail, while the tightly rendered, glossy brushwork gives the composition a theatrical, intense charge.
