EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of "The triumph of the Catholic faith. Allegory of the triumph of the Eucharist over nature, science, philosophy and poetry" by Pierre Paul Rubens. The painting depicts a powerful scene where a woman is mounted on a tank, holding a chalice topped by a host - symbolizing the Eucharist. Surrounding her are angels carrying symbols of Christ's Passion: cross, crown of thorns, and nails. What makes this artwork truly remarkable is how it portrays the victory of Catholicism over various realms such as nature, science, philosophy, and poetry. As if leading an army towards triumph, the woman on the tank represents not only religious strength but also dominance over worldly knowledge. Following closely behind her are men representing different artistic disciplines; they serve as witnesses to this triumphant display. The composition showcases Rubens' mastery in capturing movement and emotion through his use of vibrant colors and dynamic brushstrokes. Displayed at Musee des Beaux-Arts in Valenciennes, France, this 17th-century oil-on-canvas masterpiece measures an impressive 4.74x5.94 meters under sunlight conditions. Leonard de Selva's expertly captured photograph allows us to appreciate every intricate detail present in Ruben's work while providing us with an opportunity to delve into its symbolic meaning and historical significance. It serves as a testament to both artistic brilliance and religious devotion that continues to inspire viewers today.
