"Verfolgter Centaur" (Pursued Centaur) is a notable work by the German symbolist artist Max Klinger, created in 1880. This piece is part of Klinger's broader exploration of mythological and fantastical subjects, which he often imbued with psychological depth and allegorical meaning. The artwork depicts the dramatic moment of a centaur, a creature from Greek mythology that is half-human and half-horse, being chased or attacked, which is a theme that resonates with the symbolist movement's fascination with the mystical and the emotional states of being.

Max Klinger (1857–1920) was a multifaceted artist whose oeuvre includes painting, sculpture, and printmaking. He was known for his powerful imagery and technical skill, which he used to delve into themes of love, death, and dreams, often with a narrative or sequential approach as seen in his series of prints and drawings. "Verfolgter Centaur" is reflective of Klinger's capacity to blend the real with the surreal, and to infuse classical themes with contemporary symbolism.

The work is executed with a fine attention to detail and a dynamic composition that captures the tension and movement inherent in the scene. Klinger's use of light and shadow, as well as his ability to render textures and the anatomical precision of the centaur, showcase his technical prowess. The emotional intensity of the piece is palpable, with the centaur's expression conveying a sense of fear or desperation, which invites viewers to contemplate the narrative and symbolic implications of the chase.

"Verfolgter Centaur" is significant within Klinger's body of work and the symbolist movement at large, as it exemplifies the period's preoccupation with the inner workings of the mind and the exploration of myth as a means of understanding the human condition. The artwork continues to be studied and appreciated for its aesthetic qualities and its place within the context of late 19th-century European art.

As a piece that resonates with the symbolist movement's themes and Klinger's artistic vision, "Verfolgter Centaur" remains an important work for scholars and enthusiasts of symbolist art, and it contributes to the understanding of the cultural and artistic milieu of the time.
