"The Abduction of Deianeira by the Centaur Nessus, 1755" is a notable work by Hungarian artist Aladár Körösfői-Kriesch, who was a leading figure in the Hungarian Art Nouveau movement and the principal of the Gödöllő artists' colony. This painting depicts the mythological scene of the abduction of Deianeira, a motif derived from ancient Greek mythology. In the myth, Deianeira, the wife of Heracles (also known as Hercules), is abducted by the centaur Nessus, who is later killed by Heracles with a poisoned arrow.

Körösfői-Kriesch's rendition of this dramatic encounter is emblematic of his style, which often incorporated national romanticism and symbolism. The painting is characterized by its dynamic composition, vivid portrayal of the characters, and the use of rich, expressive colors that reflect the artist's interest in natural motifs and folk art, both of which were integral to the Art Nouveau aesthetic.

Created in 1755, the artwork is a testament to Körösfői-Kriesch's mastery of historical and mythological subjects, which he imbued with a modern sensibility. The painting not only illustrates a specific moment from classical mythology but also reflects the broader cultural and artistic trends of the 18th century in Hungary, where there was a resurgence of interest in national heritage and mythology.

"The Abduction of Deianeira by the Centaur Nessus, 1755" remains an important piece in Körösfői-Kriesch's oeuvre and continues to be studied for its artistic and cultural significance. It is a valuable example of how mythological themes were interpreted by artists of the Hungarian Art Nouveau movement and contributes to the understanding of European art history during this period.
