Créüse consumée par la robe empoisonnée 1742 - 1743

This dramatic scene depicts the tragic death of Créüse, a character from Greek mythology. The painting was created by Jean-François de Troy between 1742 and 1743. The scene is set in a grand palace, and Créüse is shown dying from a poisoned robe, while her husband, King Aeetes, and others watch in horror. The artwork evokes a sense of sorrow and tragedy, and is a masterful example of the Rococo style, characterized by swirling lines and dramatic lighting. De Troy's work is known for its emotional intensity, and "Créüse consumée par la robe empoisonnée" is a testament to his skill as a painter of historical subjects.
