Pieter Paul Rubens - The Arrival of Marie de Medici at Marseille (1622-1625)


Rubens does not have the task of telling historical events of enormous political and European value.
Rubens is asked to mythologize a person and an event. So when the arrival of Maria de Medici at Marseille, nymphs and water gods participate, the corner plays the trumpets. Nature and Spirits participate in a whirlwind of actions.
A scene that in all respects honors the best film colossal.
