Vincenz Grüner (1771-1832)
In this engraving, Vincenz Grüner focused exclusively on the battle scene between Theseus and the Minotaur in the center of the labyrinth. With his sword in his right hand, Theseus prepares to deliver the fatal blow. At the right edge of the picture, barely noticeable, lies the remaining ball of thread promising Theseus safety for his return. If you are interested in how Theseus got into the labyrinth, the meaning of the thread, and how the story continues, you can hear the entire myth at the listening station.
