About the piece
Dating to 1630, this masterful oil on copper painting presents a rich tapestry of figures in the grand Baroque tradition. At the center, a personification of Peace is attended by playful putti and a cornucopia of fruit, while a winged figure descends to crown her. To the right, the discarded remnants of conflict—armor, a drum, and a red banner—symbolize the triumph of harmony over war. The work captures the luminous flesh tones and dynamic energy characteristic of the Flemish masters.
