"Mazeppa" by Nathaniel Currier is a lithograph created by the American printmaker before his partnership with James Merritt Ives, which would later form the famous Currier and Ives printmaking firm known for its iconic American historical scenes. The lithograph, produced in the 19th century, depicts the dramatic scene from Lord Byron's poem "Mazeppa," in which the titular character, Ivan Mazeppa, is punished by being tied to a wild horse by his political enemies. The poem, based on a legendary Ukrainian story, was popular in the romantic period and inspired various artistic representations, including paintings, musical pieces, and Currier's lithograph.

In Currier's rendition, the viewer is presented with a dynamic and harrowing image of Mazeppa bound to the horse, capturing the intensity and movement of the wild ride through the Ukrainian landscape. The work is characteristic of Currier's attention to detail and his ability to convey narrative through visual art. "Mazeppa" is one of the many examples of Currier's lithographs that preceded the vast and influential body of work produced by Currier and Ives, which would later become a staple of American visual culture, documenting and shaping the public's image of the American experience throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries.

As a standalone piece, "Mazeppa" by Nathaniel Currier is an important work that showcases the artist's skill in lithography and his engagement with contemporary cultural themes of his time. It also provides insight into the types of subjects that were popular with the American public and the broader transatlantic audience during the period. The lithograph remains a significant historical artifact, reflecting the intersection of art, literature, and popular culture in pre-Civil War America.
