Who Was Franz von Stuck?

Franz von Stuck (1863–1928) was a German Symbolist painter, sculptor, and architect. Known for his dramatic use of lighting and mythological themes, von Stuck's work stood at the crossroads of decadence and spiritual allegory. A founder of the Munich Secession, he influenced a generation of artists including Gustav Klimt and Egon Schiele.

Why Lucifer Is His Masterpiece

Painted in 1890, Lucifer captures the moment not of Satan's fall, but of his brooding reflection—caught between heaven and hell, light and darkness. The figure is massive, tense, and coiled, with luminous eyes that pierce through the canvas. The painting doesn’t just depict evil—it depicts a divine being in exile, burdened with pride and pain.

This ambiguity makes Lucifer one of the most psychologically complex religious artworks of its time. It's not just a portrayal of rebellion—it's a portrait of cosmic solitude.
