EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense and tragic moment from Peter Paul Rubens' masterpiece, "Tereus confronted with the head of his son Itylus". Painted in 1637, this oil on panel artwork measures an impressive 195 x 267 cm and is housed at the Prado Museum in Madrid, Spain. The scene depicted here showcases Tereus, the King of Thrace, facing a horrifying realization as he confronts the severed head of his own son, Itylus. The anguish and despair etched onto Tereus' face are palpable, reflecting the devastating consequences of his actions. Rubens masterfully portrays this dark tale from Greek mythology where Tereus had unknowingly devoured Itylus' flesh during a banquet. This tragedy unfolded due to a vengeful act committed by Philomela (Tereus' sister-in-law) against her rapist husband. The painting's composition exudes tension and drama through its dynamic use of light and shadow. Bridgeman Images has beautifully captured every intricate detail in this print reproduction. As viewers gaze upon it, they are transported back to Rubens' time when Flemish art flourished. This image serves as a poignant reminder that even within great works of art lies stories that explore profound human emotions such as guilt, remorse, and grief.
