The Minataur 

"The Minotaur," a woodcut by Gustave Doré, depicts the half-man, half-bull monster from Greek mythology. The creature, a product of the union of King Minos' wife Pasiphae and a white bull, is seen here chained to the edge of a chasm, his powerful body filling the scene. Doré, known for his dramatic and detailed illustrations, uses the stark black and white medium to capture the monstrous and fearsome nature of the Minotaur. His work captures the mythical, dark tone of the story of the Minotaur, a figure often depicted as a symbol of brutality and violence.
