Centaur Fighting with Lion n.d.

This drawing by Giacinto Brandi depicts a centaur engaged in a fierce battle with a lion. The centaur, a mythical creature with the upper body of a human and the lower body of a horse, is depicted with a muscular physique and a fierce expression, while the lion is shown snarling and struggling against the centaur's attack. The dynamic composition and expressive lines in the drawing, created using pen and brown ink, suggest a moment of intense action and drama. The artwork, now housed in The Art Institute of Chicago, serves as a testament to Brandi's skill in capturing the energy and vitality of mythical subjects.
