Adolf Hiremy-Hirschl

I had to post this painting because I think it is just wonderful :


"Die Seelen des Acheron" 
Souls on the Banks of the Acheron

The artist is Adolf Hiremy-Hirschl, a Hungarian born artist who lived from 1860 to 1933. Everything about this painting, from the color, to the drawing, to the movement, lines, and values and the way these elements come together to build the design is really fantastic.  Every figure is drawn so well, with such sensitivity to the gesture.  This is an amazing work. Enjoy!
