Der Nibelungen 1920

Franz von Stuck's 1920 painting *Der Nibelungen* depicts a scene of intense violence and drama. The artwork, likely inspired by the epic German poem *The Nibelungenlied*, shows a group of knights engaged in battle, with one knight standing triumphantly over a fallen enemy. The background glows with an ominous red, highlighting the carnage and emphasizing the painting’s dark and expressive character, a hallmark of Stuck’s Symbolist style.
