The Surf1883Oil on panel, 121 x 82 cm Nationalgalerie, Berlin | |
|
Böcklin's The Surf recalls Rubens's Andromeda, but this woman exposes herself to rocks and water of her own free will. Flesh, stone, and water were an elemental triad dear to Böcklin's art, each bringing out the others' qualities. | |
