About this work
A nude male figure wearing a bronze winged helmet and sandals streaks diagonally across the sky, a curved sword gripped in one hand and a round shield in the other, his crimson cloak billowing behind him. Far below, tiny white houses cluster on a rocky headland beside a dark strip of sea, dwarfed by the looming scale of the flying figure above.
The entire canvas glows in shades of crimson, orange and near-black, with smoky clouds swirling around the figure and a shaft of brighter light along his torso and cloak. Anatomy and drapery are rendered with polished, academic precision, the taut muscles and flowing fabric contrasting with the turbulent, painterly sky, producing a sense of explosive, mythic motion.
