Questions about this Print

The size you set is the printed image, the part you see once the canvas is stretched. Beyond that size we add 1.2 in of blank canvas on every side, at no extra cost, so the stretcher bars have something to grip. A 21.7 × 16.9 in print therefore arrives as 24 × 19.2 in. Both numbers are shown in Your Selection above and change with the slider.

Yes. The slider covers every size up to 35.4 × 27.6 in, always in the proportions of the original. If you need something larger, or a size that has to fit a frame you already own, write to us with the title and the dimensions and we will tell you what is possible. Every print is made to order, so there is usually a way.

Because the original is an oil painting on canvas. We match the print medium to the original: oil paintings go on canvas, works on paper go on fine art paper. Our canvas is natural cotton, 400 g/m² Canvas, acid-free and pH neutral, and its woven texture gives the most natural impression of Rubens's original oil painting. The finish is satin/gloss, which keeps the depth of the dark tones the way varnish does on a painting in a museum; a matte canvas looks dull and pale next to it. More about our print media.

Start with the original, which measures 286 × 224 cm. A print at or near that size reads the way the artist judged it. Printing smaller is easy; enlarging a small original changes its character. For the wall, above a sofa or a sideboard aim for two thirds to three quarters of the furniture width, and hang the center at eye level. Cut paper to size and tape it to the wall before you order. The original hangs in Alte Pinakothek, Munich, Germany. Full size guide.

About the Painting

This dramatic and intense artwork serves as an excellent example of Rubens's Baroque style, showcasing his mastery of movement, color, and emotion.

The Fall of the Damned illustrates a religious scene from the Christian tradition, specifically the expulsion of the rebellious angels from Heaven. According to the Bible, the archangel Lucifer led a rebellion against God, and as a result, he and his followers were cast down into Hell. Rubens captures this moment with vivid detail and energy, highlighting the chaos and torment experienced by the damned.

In the center of the composition, the Archangel Michael, identifiable by his armor and sword, leads the charge against the fallen angels. He is surrounded by a host of divine figures, including angels and cherubs, who help cast the damned down into the abyss. The falling figures are depicted in various states of anguish and despair, with some attempting to cling to each other for support.

Rubens's use of color and light adds to the drama of the scene. The heavenly figures are bathed in a golden light, emphasizing their purity and divine nature. In contrast, the damned angels are painted in darker, more muted tones, highlighting their separation from the divine realm.

The Fall of the Damned showcases Rubens's ability to convey motion and energy through his brushwork. The swirling mass of figures creates a sense of movement and chaos, while the dynamic poses of the angels and damned souls emphasize the violence and turmoil of the scene.

This painting is a powerful example of Rubens's skill as a religious and mythological painter, demonstrating his ability to capture the emotional intensity of biblical narratives. The Fall of the Damned is considered one of his most significant works, and it remains an important piece in the study of Baroque art and Rubens's artistic legacy.
