FRANZ VON STUCK. INFERNO

Inferno. Artist: Franz von Stuck (German, Tettenweis 1863-1928 Munich). Dimensions: 50 3/4 × 82 1/2 in. (128.9 × 209.6 cm). Date: 1908. This painting's title refers to Dante Alighieri's medieval epic of a journey through hell. Although Stuck employed traditional symbols of the underworld--a snake, a demon, and a flaming pit--the dissonant colors and stylized, exaggerated poses are strikingly modern. He designed the complementary frame. Stuck's imagery was likely inspired by Auguste Rodin's <i>The Gates of Hell</i>, particularly the figure of <i>The Thinker</i> (see related works nearby). When <i>Inferno</i> debuted in an exhibition of contemporary German art at The Met in 1909, critics praised its "sovereign brutality." The picture bolstered Stuck's reputation as a visionary artist unafraid to explore the dark side of the psyche.
