"White Pegasus" is a captivating mythological painting that portrays the legendary winged horses of the Jura Mountains. Rendered in rich oil on canvas, the artwork vividly captures these predominantly white horses—some soaring to mountain peaks, others frolicking in dense forests, or hauntingly appearing as headless or three-legged creatures. These mythical mounts, inspired by local legends, are known for their trickery and danger, often blocking passages or drowning those who dare ride them. The painting’s symbolism reflects the mysterious and often perilous nature of these beings, making it a compelling example of Symbolism within a surreal, fantastical landscape.
