In Falcon Attacking a Pigeon, how is the Title discussed?
The title of the picture, in which the extended participle follows its reference word and which in some publications also contains a comma after the word "Falcon", was used several times by Germanists for considerations of the participle. In a 1962 anthology of the magazine Wirkendes Wort, for example, one could read that participles were a frequently used means in the fine arts to vividly reproduce the content of a picture, but that the picture would be “even more expressive in language if the participle follows its antecedent” and still take the final position behind the verbal additions, as is the case with Menzel's pigeon picture title.
