A young warrior in a bright red attire: a meticulously executed symbolist work

(1881 Jonakanton St. Gallen - 1954 Egnach/Kanton Thurgau) The Rescue Scene depicts a young warrior in vibrant red attire, holding a female figure in his arms to carry her away. This finely executed, symbolist work by Frey-Moocks is characterized by its light and color effects. It is likely inspired by a motif from Nordic or ancient mythology. Frey-Moocks moved to Munich in 1902, where he studied at the Academy under Karl Raupp and Wilhelm von Diez, becoming an assistant to Franz von Stuck in 1904. His works show a strong influence from both Stuck and Arnold Böcklin. Oil on hardboard. Signed and with minor cuts. 30.5 x 25.5 cm. Framed.
