• Distortion and fascination: Markus Lüpertz offers a captivating reinterpretation of the ancient motif.
• With his twisted and exaggerated figures of mythological heroes and gods, he creates an artistic redefinition of traditional themes.

The authenticity of this work has been orally confirmed by the Markus Lüpertz Studio. We are grateful for the kind assistance.
