"Rape by a Centaur" is a controversial drawing by Lebanese-American artist, poet, and writer Kahlil Gibran (1883–1931), best known for his book "The Prophet." Created in the early 20th century, the artwork depicts a scene of a mythical centaur overpowering a female figure, which is presumed to be an act of sexual violence given the title. The drawing is executed in Gibran's characteristic style, which blends elements of Romanticism with Symbolism and often explores themes of love, spirituality, and human emotion.

The artwork has been subject to various interpretations, with some viewing it as a representation of the struggle between the base, animalistic instincts and the more noble, human aspirations within individuals. Others see it as a reflection of the darker aspects of human nature and the complexities of sexual dynamics. The drawing's provocative nature has sparked discussions on the role of mythological motifs in modern art and the ways in which artists address sensitive and controversial subjects.

"Rape by a Centaur" is part of Gibran's broader body of work, which includes a range of visual art alongside his literary contributions. His art often accompanied his written work, providing a visual dimension to his philosophical and poetic explorations. Despite the challenging nature of this particular piece, Gibran's work has been celebrated for its emotional depth and its ability to resonate with a diverse international audience.

As with many of Gibran's artworks, "Rape by a Centaur" reflects the artist's interest in exploring the human condition through a combination of realism and fantasy. The piece remains a topic of study for scholars interested in early 20th-century art, the symbolism movement, and the intersection of literature and visual arts.
