About the piece
Painted in 1652 by Jan Lievens, this grand allegory depicts Peace as a central figure being crowned, while Minerva restrains the forces of war. Surrounded by playful putti and cornucopias overflowing with fruit, the work exemplifies the technical mastery and dramatic flair of the Dutch Golden Age, making it a sophisticated statement piece for a traditional interior.
