About the piece
Created around 1609, this oil sketch by Peter Paul Rubens showcases the artist's legendary ability to convey movement and emotion through fluid brushwork. The scene captures the high tension of the biblical narrative, with the warm glow of candlelight contrasting against the deep shadows where soldiers await their moment to capture the weakened hero.
