Allegorie auf die Dampfkraft 

Johann Baptist Scholl the Younger's "Allegorie auf die Dampfkraft" (Allegory of Steam Power) is a captivating depiction of a steam-powered locomotive, personified as a mythological chariot, driven by figures representing the forces of nature. The drawing, likely created in the late 19th century, reflects the growing fascination with technology and its impact on society. The artist's meticulous rendering of the locomotive and its powerful steam, combined with the allegorical figures, speaks to the transformative nature of the industrial revolution and its influence on the world. The artwork is part of the Städel Museum collection and provides a unique glimpse into the artistic and technological sensibilities of the period.
