Sisyphus 

Franz von Stuck's "Sisyphus" depicts the Greek mythological figure condemned to eternally roll a boulder up a hill, only for it to roll back down. The artwork is a powerful and evocative rendition of the myth, highlighting the futility of Sisyphus's labor. Stuck, a prominent figure in the German Symbolist movement, employs a dramatic composition and rich color palette to convey the weight of the task and the bleakness of Sisyphus's fate. The painting serves as a commentary on the struggle against an insurmountable obstacle, reminding us of the relentless nature of life's challenges.
