Created between 1630 and 1632, this oil on wood masterpiece measures 71.1 x 48.3 cm and is housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.

Flanking him are Melchizedek, Elijah, Saint Paul, and Saint Cyril of Alexandria - all associated with the Eucharist. The artwork offers patrons various architectural motifs through its columns and upper corners to choose from. It beautifully captures the essence of Christian worship during mass, where bread and wine are consecrated as symbols representing Christ's body and blood.

Rubens' attention to detail brings forth a sense of heroism as well as religious devotion. "The Glorification of the Eucharist" not only represents a significant moment in biblical history but also exemplifies Rubens' mastery in capturing religious themes with his unique artistic flair.
