About This Design

Dead Poet Being Carried by a Centaur (Sunset) Poster

Dead Poet Being Carried by a Centaur (Sunset) Poster

This design features a painting by the French artist Gustave Moreau (1826–1898), who was an important figure in the Symbolist movement. It shows a young poet who has recently died being carried in the arms of a centaur. The scene incorporates elements from ancient Greek mythology, as well as Gustave Moreau's own creative interpretation. The centaur, which is a creature from Greek mythology with the upper body of a human and the lower body of a horse, holds the lifeless poet in his arms. The image can be seen as encapsulating the idea of artistic suffering and the poet as a martyr or visionary figure. Moreau often employed mythological tropes and allegorical themes in order to explore philosophical and spiritual ideas. Some critics have said that the figure of the dead poet, with his lifeless body and closed eyes, suggests a sense of poetic inspiration being carried away or lost in the realm of the imagination. There is a beautiful red sunset in the background. The original artwork was painted circa 1890, and there is great dignity and beauty in the image. Gustave Moreau produced this work soon after the death of his friend and companion Alexandrine Dureux. The painting is now on display in the Musée Gustave Moreau, in Paris.

I like the design features on the website. They enable the fitting of a good quality Print to an existing frame. This Print was of excellent quality. I would buy again. One small gripe is that the image was not centred horizontally (about 3mm out) so needed trimming. No great hardship and may have been my fault in the setting-up. Next time, I would choose to set the text below the picture to a smaller font. Overall - Thank You! Looks good in its frame - Just as expected. I had a very expensive Gallery print of this before. It got damaged - hence the replacement. It compares very well.
