EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Pieter Paul Rubens' masterpiece, "Deucalion and Pyrrha". Painted around 1636, this oil on wood artwork measures 26.4x41.7 cm and is housed in the prestigious Museo del Prado in Madrid. The Flemish artist, Rubens (1577-1640), known for his baroque style, brings to life the mythological figures of Deucalion and Pyrrha from ancient Greece. In this painting, we witness a moment of profound transformation and rescue. Deucalion and Pyrrha stand before us as a naked couple amidst a barren landscape. Their bodies exude vulnerability yet strength as they face an immense challenge - their world has been devastated by floods. As myth tells us, Deucalion and Pyrrha were the only survivors of this catastrophic event. In order to repopulate their land, they were instructed by the gods to throw stones over their shoulders which miraculously transformed into humans upon contact with the earth. Rubens masterfully captures this pivotal moment of metamorphosis through his skilled brushwork and attention to detail. The composition radiates both tension and hope as these stone-like figures prepare to release their burdensome load. Through his artistry, Rubens invites us to contemplate themes such as resilience, rebirth, and the power of human connection even in times of great adversity. This timeless masterpiece continues to captivate viewers with its rich narrative and exquisite execution.
