About the piece
This 1610 collaborative masterpiece by Peter Paul Rubens and Jan Brueghel the Elder captures the allegorical moment of Mars being disarmed by Venus. While Rubens focused on the luminous, fleshy figures of the gods and cupids, Brueghel meticulously rendered the surrounding 'vulcan's forge' of armor, weaponry, and scientific instruments, resulting in a work of immense technical depth and symbolic richness.
