—————————————-

This painting was born with the collaboration of two great masters of Flemish painting: Peter Paul Rubens and Jan Brueghel the Elder in 1623.

The work is executed after Rubens’ return from Italy to Antwerp.

Art in Antwerp was not much changed from the time Rubens left for Italy, so Rubens is the one who revolutionized it with his ideas about painting in this city.

The style of Jan Bruegel the Elder is quite different from that of Rubens, Bruegel specializes in landscapes and still life with flowers.
