More about this artwork

Welcome to a glimpse into the divine and dramatic realms of Peter Paul Rubens' artistry in "The Virgin as the Woman of the Apocalypse". Painted between 1623 and 1624, this awe-inspiring work vividly illustrates a passage from the Book of Revelation. In the center, we see the Virgin Mary clothed in a radiant blue mantle, holding the infant Jesus. They are surrounded by a flurry of exquisitely detailed and dynamic figures, including angels and cherubs who observe and engage with the cosmic tumult unfolding around them.Below the Virgin, Rubens paints a dramatic scene of chaos where various grotesque beasts representing evil and sin are defeated. The sweeping energy of these figures highlights Rubens’ mastery over movement and his skill in using color to convey emotional intensity. The Virgin herself stands composed and tranquil amidst the surrounding chaos, emphasizing her role as a symbol of pure and steadfast faith.The painting not only showcases Rubens’ baroque prowess but also serves as a theological narrative tool, depicting the ultimate triumph of good over evil.

Sir Peter Paul Rubens was a Flemish artist and diplomat from the Duchy of Brabant in the Southern Netherlands (modern-day Belgium). He is considered the most influential artist of the Flemish Baroque tradition. Rubens's highly charged compositions reference erudite aspects of classical and Christian history. His unique and immensely popular Baroque style emphasized movement, colour, and sensuality, which followed the immediate, dramatic artistic style promoted in the Counter-Reformation. Rubens was a painter producing altarpieces, portraits, landscapes, and history paintings of mythological and allegorical subjects. He was also a prolific designer of cartoons for the Flemish tapestry workshops and of frontispieces for the publishers in Antwerp.
