Fifty Days at Iliam: The Fire that Consumes All before It - Cy Twombly Aluminum Print

Immerse yourself in the raw, elemental power of Cy Twombly's "Fifty Days at Iliam: The Fire that Consumes All before It" with this museum-quality aluminum print from RedKalion. Part of Twombly's epic 1978 series inspired by Homer's Iliad, this work captures the chaotic energy of war through frenetic scribbles, smears, and explosive gestures that evoke flames consuming the Trojan battlefield.
