EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Arnold Bocklin's masterpiece, "Centaur at the village blacksmith". Painted in 1888, this oil on canvas artwork is a prime example of Swiss art from the 19th century and falls under the symbolism movement. Currently housed in the Museum of Fine Arts Budapest (Hungary), this painting beautifully combines elements of mythology, handicrafts, and Greek culture. In this scene, we see a mythical centaur standing alongside a human blacksmith in his forge. The juxtaposition of these two characters creates an intriguing narrative that sparks curiosity and imagination. The centaur represents an imaginary character from Greek mythology while the blacksmith symbolizes craftsmanship and skill. Bocklin's attention to detail is evident through his meticulous brushstrokes which bring life to every element within the composition. From the glowing embers in the forge to the intricate tools hanging on walls, each aspect adds depth and realism to this enchanting scene. Leonard de Selva's expertly captured photograph allows viewers to appreciate Bocklin's work even if they cannot visit it personally. Through this image, one can delve into a world where mythological creatures coexist with humans in everyday settings. Whether you are an art enthusiast or simply drawn to captivating imagery, this print offers a glimpse into Bocklin's artistic genius and invites contemplation about our relationship with both reality and fantasy.
