Franz von Stuck's "Helios" is a notable work by the German symbolist painter and sculptor, who was a prominent figure in the Munich Secession movement. Created in 1904, this painting exemplifies Stuck's fascination with mythological themes and his adeptness at blending classical motifs with a modern, symbolist aesthetic. "Helios" depicts the Greek sun god, a figure of immense power and vitality, often associated with the daily journey of the sun across the sky.

In this work, Stuck portrays Helios with a commanding presence, emphasizing his divine nature and the awe-inspiring force he represents. The god is typically shown in a chariot, drawn by fiery horses, symbolizing the relentless and life-giving energy of the sun. Stuck's use of dramatic lighting and rich, vibrant colors enhances the mythological grandeur of the scene, creating a sense of both reverence and dynamism.

Stuck's "Helios" is also significant for its technical execution. The artist's meticulous attention to detail and his skillful use of chiaroscuro—a technique that contrasts light and dark to create a sense of volume and depth—are evident in this piece. The painting reflects Stuck's academic training and his ability to infuse traditional subjects with a modern sensibility, making it a quintessential example of his style.

The work is housed in the Stuck Villa in Munich, which was the artist's residence and studio, now a museum dedicated to his life and oeuvre. "Helios" continues to be celebrated for its artistic merit and its embodiment of the symbolist movement's ideals, capturing the intersection of myth, nature, and human emotion in a way that resonates with viewers even today.
