About the Item

Old Master Baroque Painting on Copper, Circle of Rubens, 17th Century “Sabine Women”, 17th Century Flemish Baroque Oil on Copper, Attributed to the Circle of Peter Paul Rubens A superb 17th-Century Baroque oil painting on copper, attributed to the Circle of Sir Peter Paul Rubens and confirmed by Christie’s London as originating from Rubens’ artistic orbit. The work depicts the dramatic and historically celebrated subject “The Abduction of the Sabine Women,” a theme painted by leading Old Master artists from the Renaissance through the Baroque era. Rendered with the dynamic movement, muscular anatomy, and emotionally charged composition associated with Rubens’ studio, this painting embodies the hallmarks of Flemish Baroque—swirling drapery, bold chiaroscuro, expressive gestures, and theatrical storytelling rooted in Classical antiquity. The artwork is executed on copper, a prized 17th-century support favored by Flemish masters for its smooth surface and ability to produce jewel-like luminosity and exceptional detail. It is presented in a richly carved 19th-century giltwood frame with deep relief and acanthus foliate carving, complementing the drama of the scene. Subject The composition follows the legendary Roman myth in which Romulus, founder of Rome, orders his soldiers to seize the Sabine women to secure wives for his new city. Artists such as Rubens and Nicolas Poussin famously interpreted this theme, exploring ideas of power, conflict, movement, and allegory. This version reflects Rubens’ influence through: Energetic, spiraling bodies and intertwined figures, a theatrical architectural backdrop. Contrasting flesh tones illuminated against darker shadows. Complex emotional interplay among the characters. A Baroque sense of controlled chaos. While Poussin approached the narrative with strict classical order and sculptural precision, works from Rubens’ circle—including this example—emphasize drama, sensuality, and expressive motion, embodying a uniquely Flemish interpretation of the myth. Set in a beautifully carved 19th-century giltwood frame with exceptional detail. Very good antique condition; age-appropriate wear consistent with a 17th-Century copper painting. Measurements: Framed: 27 1/2" L × 23" H × 4" D Artwork: 17 7/8" L × 13 5/8" H Provenance: Attributed to the Circle of Sir Peter Paul Rubens Christie’s London: Documentation confirming attribution to the circle (available to buyer) About the Artist School-Context: Sir Peter Paul Rubens (1577–1640) was one of the most celebrated Baroque painters in Europe—renowned for his mythological scenes, vibrant palette, dynamic compositions, and influential Antwerp workshop. Knighted by both King Charles I of England and King Philip IV of Spain, Rubens shaped the visual language of the Baroque era and left a legacy continued by his pupils and large studio.
