Tartarus is one of the primordial deities of Greek mythology, and a deep region of the underworld in which giants, monsters and enemies of the Olympians were imprisoned. 

​

This painting was more directly inspired by Jean Paul Richter's novel Titan, in which Tartarus is the name of a dark and mysterious garden estate, as well as Anton Bruckner's Fourth Symphony, to which similar adjectives apply.
