About this work

Wilhelm von Kaulbach's 1850 design for a fresco at the Neue Pinakothek shows an armored Athena-like figure leading robed men in a struggle against a three-headed chimera wearing powdered wigs. A winged horse with riders carrying a banner and swords charges in from the right, while a dog-headed figure and women crouch within a stone arch below.
