Franz von Stuck's "Pygmalion" depicts the sculptor Pygmalion kneeling before his creation, a beautiful nude woman, against a dramatic red background. The image, which is likely a symbolic representation of the artist's power to create, is typical of Stuck's Symbolist style, which often featured allegorical and mythical themes. Stuck's "Pygmalion" is a powerful and enigmatic work that continues to fascinate viewers with its complex symbolism.
