As..."Hercules fighting the Nemean Lion". <br />As you know, it's the first of the Hercules' Twelve Labours. There's another painting of Rubens on the same subject (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nemean_lion#/media/File%3APieter_paul_rubens%2C_ercole_e_i_leone_nemeo%2C_02.JPG), but I prefer the one I linked above. <br />Besides, take a look at these two others Rubens' paintings:<br />1. "Hercules and Cerberus" (https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Peter_Paul_Rubens_-_Hercules_and_Cerberus,_1636.jpg);<br />2. "Head of Medusa" (http://www.mlahanas.de/Greeks/Mythology/HeadOfMedusaPeterPaulRubens.html).DevilMaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00808561594749719016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8049832311913108906.post-50027202045717834292016-02-21T09:48:42.459-06:002016-02-21T09:48:42.459-06:00That's an amazing painting.

U..."Peter Paul Rubens was a great artist"<br />Undoubtely.<br />My favourite ones are the third (Hippo and Croc) and the fourth (Lion and Tiger). Yours?<br /><br />"he'd never actually seen a hunt"<br />Probably. :-)DevilMaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00808561594749719016noreply@blogger.com
