EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Peter Paul Rubens' masterpiece, "The Virgin as the Woman of the Apocalypse". Painted in 1623-4, this oil on panel artwork measures 64.5x49.8 cm and is housed at the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles. At first glance, we see the Virgin Mary holding the Christ Child while triumphantly trampling over a serpent symbolizing sin. Surrounding them are Archangel Michael and angels casting out Satan, depicted as a fearsome seven-headed dragon along with other demons. Instructing an angel to place wings on the Virgin's shoulders is God the Father himself. This altarpiece originally adorned Freising Cathedral in southern Germany and embodies various biblical themes from the Book of Revelation. It portrays a battle between good and evil, showcasing heroic figures fighting against demonic forces. Rubens' mastery of Baroque style is evident through his skillful use of light and shadow to create dramatic effects that enhance the apocalyptic atmosphere portrayed in this painting. The artist's Flemish background shines through with intricate details and rich colors that bring every element to life. "The Virgin as the Woman of the Apocalypse" serves not only as a religious icon but also as a testament to Rubens' artistic genius. Its powerful imagery invites viewers into a world where faith confronts adversity, reminding us of humanity's eternal struggle between sin and salvation.
