Minerva disputes with Marsyas (1844 - 1861)

"Minerva disputes with Marsyas" (1844 - 1861) is a work by Aubin Louis Millin. Background on Mythology: Mythological painting draws on stories from Greek and Roman myth, and on other traditions such as Norse, Celtic, and Hindu narrative. Artists from the Renaissance to the Symbolists returned to myth to explore love, power, fate, and transformation. Historical background, 1844 - 1861: The first half of the nineteenth century moved from Neoclassicism to Romanticism, which placed emotion, nature, and the sublime at the centre of painting. The invention of lithography around 1796 and its spread in these decades made printed images cheaper and more varied. The catalogue places it in Mythology. The format is portrait.
