Die Donaunixen prophezeien Hagen den unglücklichen Ausgang von Gunthers Zug is a 1807 oil by Henry Fuseli, a British Romanticism work, held at Kunsthaus Zürich.
This painting depicts a dramatic scene with a woman riding a horse, holding a torch aloft. She is nude except for a red sash around her waist and a helmet on her head. The horse is dark brown with a red saddle blanket. To the right, three women in white gowns float in the air, one reaching out towards the rider. The background is dark, with hints of blue and green. The rider's dynamic pose and the floating women create a sense of movement and energy. The use of contrasting colors, such as the red sash and the dark horse, adds to the overall drama of the scene. This painting is characteristic of the work of artist Henry Fuseli.
Henry Fuseli was a Swiss painter, draughtsman, and writer on art who spent much of his career in Britain.
