Sagittarius 1988

"Sagittarius" is a 1988 painting by Boris Vallejo, a Peruvian-American artist known for his fantasy and science fiction art. The painting features a centaur couple, both with muscular torsos and equine lower bodies. The male centaur holds a bow and arrow, ready to fire, while the female centaur stands behind him, holding her own bow. The painting's realism and dramatic lighting create a sense of power and vitality, highlighting the strength and grace of these mythical creatures. The painting's subject matter is inspired by classical mythology, a recurring theme in Vallejo's work.
