Deianira Abducted by Nessus

Hercules had married the beautiful Princess Deianira. On their way home, the couple had to cross a river that was so wide that Hercules had to ask the centaur Nessus for help to get his wife brought safely over to the other side. But he should never have done this. Nessus was no harmless helper. His dual nature – half horse, half man – had resulted in his being mentally divided. Although on the surface he appeared to be so trustworthy that a newly married man would dare to leave his beautiful bride in his care, when it came to the point he lacked the ability to keep his instincts under control. So once Nessus has got hold of Deianira, he immediately set about raping her. She screamed for help. Hercules discovered what was happening and slew the centaur with an arrow from his bow.

I make the figures with marble, a resistant material, which allows the figure to be exposed even outdoors and look even more beautiful over the years.

The statue helps people calm down, not impatient, not hasty. It reminds us there are many difficulties and sadness outside but if we just think about all the goodness, just smile and you will feel the life much easier.

Our figures are made by hand using high quality natural marble stone therefor each piece is unique and may slightly be different in shape and color.
