"Persecution of Orestes" is a 1804 drawing by Johann Gottfried Schadow, a prominent German sculptor and draughtsman. The drawing portrays the Greek mythological figure Orestes, pursued by the Furies, the goddesses of vengeance. Schadow, known for his Neoclassical style, captures the dramatic intensity of the scene with flowing lines and precise details, emphasizing the torment inflicted upon Orestes. This piece, now in the Art Institute of Chicago, is a testament to Schadow's ability to depict ancient Greek mythology in a visually compelling manner.
