"Assassin Pursued by the Furies" is a painting by Swiss symbolist artist Arnold Böcklin, created in 1894. This artwork is part of Böcklin's exploration of mythological and fantastical themes, which are characteristic of his oeuvre. The painting depicts a dramatic scene in which an assassin, overwhelmed by guilt and fear, is being chased by the Erinyes, also known as the Furies in Greek mythology. These deities of vengeance are shown as harrowing figures, relentless in their pursuit of the wrongdoer, embodying the inescapable nature of guilt and retribution.

Böcklin's use of dark and moody tones, combined with his dynamic composition, enhances the painting's ominous atmosphere, effectively conveying the psychological torment of the central figure. The Furies, traditionally three goddesses who punish those who have sworn false oaths or done evil deeds, are rendered with a sense of ferocity and supernatural terror, which is a testament to Böcklin's skill in portraying the darker aspects of the human psyche and mythological narratives.

"Assassin Pursued by the Furies" is often interpreted as a reflection of the artist's fascination with the themes of death and the afterlife, subjects that he revisited throughout his career. The painting can be seen as part of the larger symbolist movement, which sought to represent ideas and emotions through powerful symbols and allegorical images rather than through realistic depiction.

The work is significant in Böcklin's body of work, as it exemplifies his unique blend of classical mythology with a personal and modern sensibility. It continues to be studied and appreciated for its compelling portrayal of mythological horror and its insight into the human condition. The painting is held in a private collection, and its influence can be seen in the works of later artists who were inspired by Böcklin's imaginative and evocative approach to art.
