Allegory of Peace and War - Remastered by Carlos Diaz
1776
Pompeo Girolamo Batoni
Italian, 1708-1787
In the 17th century the name Peter Paul Rubens was known throughout the royal courts of Europe and rightfully so. He was the master of the visual arts within the Baroque era and worked for no one less than the Austrian and Spanish Habsburgs or Marie de Medici, to name only a few.
The painting stands as a reminder of how things can be when peace arrives but also acts as a warning, cleverly hidden, how easily war can and will erupt again and what will be at stake: The next generation.
