Accompanied by Hermes Psychopompos, the conveyor of souls, they restlessly wait to cross to the underworld. Approaching on the river, the barge of the ferryman Charon can already be seen. Adolf Hirémy-Hirschl depicted this story from Greek mythology with searing emotional intensity. The realistic representation of the naked, pale, partially veiled bodies is based on photographs. Despite the pathos of the composition, this heightens the nightmarish quality of the work. Following in the footsteps of Hans Makart, Hirémy-Hirschl emulated his grandiose \u201csensation pictures\u201d while at the same time adhering here to the style of Dark Romanticism, the hallmarks of which are gloom, suffering, and death."},"medium":{"label":"Medium","value":"Oil on canvas"},"onview":{"label":"On View","value":"0"},"media":{"label":"Media","value":["https://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/internal/media/dispatcher/50565/full"]},"title":{"label":"Title","value":"Souls at the River Acheron"},"classification":{"label":"Genre","value":"Painting"},"primaryMedia":{"label":"PrimaryMedia","value":"https://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/internal/media/dispatcher/50565/full"},"displayDate":{"label":"Date","value":"1898"},"id":{"label":"Id","value":"10592683"},"iiifManifest":{"value":"https://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/apis/iiif/presentation/v2/1-objects-6707/manifest"},"dimensions":{"label":"Dimensions","value":"215 x 340 cm"}}]}
