Created in 1831 during the height of German Romanticism, this work exemplifies Retzsch's characteristic approach: using classical figures and symbolism to interrogate questions of temptation, free will, and moral choice. The work belongs to a long tradition of allegorical art that uses supernatural or symbolic encounters to explore human virtue and vice.\n\u003ch3\u003eBring the world's most iconic masterpieces onto your walls\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhether you're decorating your living room, home office, or bedroom, you will find in our catalog the masterpiece that will bring to your spaces the mood, the atmosphere and the character you are looking for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eArt lets you express in your home who you are: your story, your sensitivity and your personality in the most beautiful and subtle way, a silent statement of culture, taste and sophistication.
