"Nessus and Deianira" is a renowned sculptural work by the Italian Rococo sculptor Antonio Corradini, created in the 18th century. This piece depicts the tragic encounter between the centaur Nessus and Deianira, the wife of the hero Heracles, a subject drawn from classical mythology. In the myth, Nessus is fatally shot by Heracles with a poisoned arrow as he attempts to abduct Deianira. Before dying, Nessus deceives Deianira, telling her that his blood would ensure Heracles' fidelity.

Corradini's sculpture captures the dramatic intensity of the moment, showcasing his mastery of form and his ability to convey complex emotions through marble. The work is characterized by its dynamic composition, the intricate rendering of textures, and the interplay of light and shadow, which were hallmarks of Corradini's style. The fluidity and movement found in the piece are typical of the Rococo period, which favored ornate aesthetics and elaborate themes.

Antonio Corradini (1688–1752) was an Italian sculptor who gained prominence for his virtuosic treatment of marble, creating figures that often seemed enshrouded in soft, translucent veils. His works are considered some of the finest examples of Rococo sculpture, and "Nessus and Deianira" stands as a testament to his artistic legacy. The sculpture not only reflects Corradini's technical skill but also embodies the Rococo fascination with mythological subjects, exploring themes of love, betrayal, and the complexities of human emotion.

The sculpture is significant in the context of art history for its representation of Rococo ideals and its influence on the development of neoclassical sculpture. Today, "Nessus and Deianira" is admired for its aesthetic beauty and emotional depth, and it continues to be studied for its contribution to the evolution of European sculpture. The work is housed in a prominent museum collection, where it remains accessible to the public and continues to inspire both art enthusiasts and scholars alike.
