Henry Fuseli's painting "The Erinyes Drive Alcmaeon from the Corpse of his Mother, Eriphyle, Whom He Has Killed" is a dramatic and evocative work that delves into themes of guilt, vengeance, and the supernatural. Created in the late 18th or early 19th century, this painting is a vivid representation of a scene from Greek mythology. It depicts Alcmaeon, a figure tormented by the Furies, also known as the Erinyes, after he has murdered his mother, Eriphyle.

In the myth, Eriphyle is bribed with a necklace to persuade her husband, Amphiaraus, to join the doomed expedition of the Seven Against Thebes. After Amphiaraus's death, their son Alcmaeon avenges his father by killing Eriphyle. Fuseli captures the moment of Alcmaeon's torment as he is pursued by the Furies, who are relentless deities of vengeance. The painting is characterized by Fuseli's signature dramatic style, with intense emotions and dynamic compositions.

Fuseli's use of chiaroscuro enhances the tension and horror of the scene, casting deep shadows and highlighting the anguished expressions of the characters. The Furies are depicted as fearsome, otherworldly figures, emphasizing the supernatural elements of the myth. Alcmaeon's posture and expression convey his inner turmoil and desperation as he is driven away from his mother's corpse.

This work is a testament to Fuseli's fascination with the darker aspects of human nature and his ability to convey complex psychological states through art. It reflects the Romantic era's interest in exploring intense emotions and the sublime. While the painting may not be as widely known as some of Fuseli's other works, it remains a powerful example of his skill in bringing mythological narratives to life with dramatic flair and emotional depth.
