About the piece
Created around 1612, this powerful work by Flemish master Peter Paul Rubens exemplifies the drama and physicality of the Baroque period. The composition captures the weight and effort of Saint Christopher as he wades through dark waters with the Christ Child on his shoulders, guided by the luminous beam of a hermit's lantern which cuts through the moody, atmospheric background.
