Here I will be discussing Peter Paul Rubens, and his piece Two Satyrs, completed in Munich, Germany in 1619.
Rubens is known as one of the most influential painters of the Baroque era. An advocate of Humanist ideals, Rubens was also a devout Catholic; both of these traits were frequently demonstrated in the themes of many of his paintings. While Rubens was heavily influenced by Italian Renaissance artists (Getty), his works also followed the set of standards decreed in the Catholic church’s Council of Trent, completed in 1563, which ruled that art should appeal more to the common citizen and should also be free from ideas and imagery that went against the core ideals of the church. Ruben’s paintings, including Two Satyrs, show his Humanist tendencies without defying the church’s rulings that confusing imagery, profanity, and explicit sexuality should be avoided. This was in contrast to much of Renaissance art, which frequently featured sexualized nudity, non-Catholic themes, and the popular Mannerism style which was disorganized and confusing by nature. One example of such a painting is Agnolo Bronzino’s An Allegory with Venus and Cupid completed in 1545 (location unknown), which is featured below. This painting possesses all of these “undesirable” characteristics, such as intense eroticism, cluttered composition, and prominent figures from Greek mythos.
Every hand painted oil painting in this fine art series is finished on artist-grade canvas and checked against the original before it leaves the studio.
This is a genuine hand painted oil painting, not a canvas print. Our painters match the palette of Two Satyrs by eye and build up the fine art forms in thin layers, which is what gives the finished fine art oil painting its luminosity.
Hang this fine art oil painting above a sofa, console, or bed to give a dining room an instant focal point. Its classical palette works with both minimalist and period interiors, and the piece also makes a considered gift for housewarmings, weddings, and art lovers.
