Sandreuter was a Swiss Symbolist artist who began his studies in lithography before forming a close acquaintanceship with painter Arnold Böcklin. He worked in Florence, Paris, Nuremburg, and Switzerland (where he was commissioned for several municipal murals), and later returned to Florence to coordinate this Böcklin Exhibition for the Kunsthalle Basel. This dramatic scene of the centaur wielding a large stone is a detail adapted from Bocklin's 1873 oil painting, Battle Of The Centaurs.
