Hercules had married the beautiful Princess Deianira. On their way home, the couple had to cross a river that was so wide that Hercules had to ask the centaur Nessus for help to get his wife brought safely over to the other side. But he should never have done this. Nessus was no harmless helper. His dual nature – half horse, half man – had resulted in his being mentally divided. Although on the surface he appeared to be so trustworthy that a newly married man would dare to leave his beautiful bride in his care, when it came to the point he lacked the ability to keep his instincts under control. So once Nessus has got hold of Deianira, he immediately set about raping her. She screamed for help. Hercules discovered what was happening and slew the centaur with an arrow from his bow.

About the author:
Thorvaldsen
Thorvaldsens Museum opened on 18 September 1848 and was the first public museum building in Denmark. The characteristic museum building was built to exhibit the extensive life’s work of the sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen (1770-1844) and today still looks more or less as it did when it opened over 150 years ago. Thorvaldsens Museum also contains Thorvaldsen's drawings and sketches for sculptures and reliefs. In addition Thorvaldsen was a passionate collector, so the museum also exhibits his extensive collections of paintings from his own time and collections of artworks and objects from Greek, Roman and Egyptian antiquity. The museum also shows changing exhibitions that go into greater depth with aspects of the permanent collections, including contemporary art.
