Description:

In Charles Gleyre's dramatic oil painting "Pentheus pursued by the Maenads" from 1864, dark, foreboding hues of brown and gray create an atmosphere of chaos and danger. The nude figure of Pentheus, bathed in a shaft of light, flees from the shadowy, frenzied forms of the Maenads. The dynamic composition and stark contrast between light and dark underscore the painting's theme of the destructive power of unbridled passion. Gleyre's masterful use of chiaroscuro heightens the sense of tension, conveying a timeless message about the perils of defying the gods and the primal forces of nature.
