About the piece

Created around 1660, this dynamic composition by Jacob Jordaens captures Pegasus in a moment of triumphant ascent. The luminous treatment of the white horse provides a striking focal point against the moody, deep-toned landscape, while the surrounding putti and mythological figures add a sense of movement and narrative depth characteristic of the high Baroque period.
