Description

In this painting a Minotaur and a female figure dominate the picture. I do realize the Minotaur can have several meanings. In Homer I believe he was the judge of souls, in Dante�s Divine Comedy he symbolizes the �matta bestialitade�, the blind violence. Also he can be seen as a metaphor for death and therefor as a symbol for non-being.

However, what fascinates me the most is the idea that the Minotaur - being result from a liaison of Pasiphaë and a bull � symbolizes a coincidentia oppositorum. A meeting of opposites. Therefor the Minotaur embodies both creature and human, rational and irrational, feminine and masculine, destiny and fate, good and evil.
