EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Pierre Paul Rubens' masterpiece, "Cycle of Mary de Medicis: The Concert (or Council) of the Gods for Reciproc Marriages of France and Spain, once said: The Queens Government". Painted in the 17th century, this allegorical artwork depicts Queen Marie de Medicis' government through a rich tapestry of mythological figures. On the left side of the painting, we witness Jupiter and Juno uniting France and Spain in matrimony. Symbolized by two pairs of doves perched on a globe, their union is protected by the gods of Peace with their beam of arrows and Concorde at their side. This harmonious scene represents the diplomatic alliances between these powerful nations. Contrasting this peaceful image, on the right side we see Apollo and Minerva chasing away the Furies while Venus holds back Mars who seeks to assist them. This dynamic portrayal signifies Queen Marie's efforts to maintain order within her realm despite external threats or internal conflicts. Measuring an impressive 3.94x7.02 meters, this extraordinary artwork can be found in Paris at Musee du Louvre. Through Rubens' masterful brushstrokes and intricate composition, he captures both political symbolism and artistic beauty in one grand tableau. This print allows us to appreciate every detail up close – from delicate facial expressions to vibrant colors – transporting us back to a time when art was not only aesthetically pleasing but also conveyed profound messages about power dynamics and governance.
