A Large And Significant Painting By The German Artist Paul Schad-rossa,

The large oil painting is the work of the German painter and sculptor Paul Schad-Rossa, a leading figure of Symbolism and associated with the Munich Secession.
It depicts a mythological or allegorical drama shrouded in a dreamlike atmosphere. In the foreground, a nude woman weeps over her companion’s body, while on the right a man watches with resigned melancholy. The composition is dominated by a large red sun setting among the rocks, casting scarlet glows on the water and the figures. The stark contrasts between the dark shadows and the fiery light transform the landscape into a unique emotional mirror
