Creature from the labyrinth · Fear, confinement and combat
Half man, half bull, the Minotaur transforms the labyrinth into an image of locked-in violence, sacrifice and confrontation with the dark side of the human.
Born to Pasiphae and the Cretan bull, the Minotaur is locked by Minos in the labyrinth built by Daedalus. Athens must regularly deliver young victims to him until the arrival of Theseus. Thanks to Ariadne's thread, the hero finds the exit after killing the creature. Cima da Conegliano represents victory with Renaissance clarity. Gustave Moreau suspends the victims in a precious space where the threat becomes psychological. George Frederic Watts isolates the monster on a parapet, in the dark expectation of new prey. Maurice Denis isolates the monster on a parapet, in the dark expectation of new prey. Maurice Denis isolates the monster on a parapet, in the dark expectation of new prey. Maurice Denis isolates the monster on a parapet, in the dark expectation of new prey. Maurice Denis finally reinterprets the figure by simplifying the line and color. The "Paintings of the Minotaur" selection notably highlights gaze The Minotaur - Maurice Denis and Theseus killing the Minotaur - Cima da Conegliano. His reading favors composition.
The Minotaur is at once a monster, prisoner and mirror: his strength frightens, but his confinement gives the myth a tragic depth.
