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 14.6 × 21.7 in print therefore arrives as 17 × 24 in. Both numbers are shown in Your Selection above and change with the slider.

Yes. The slider covers every size up to 28 × 41.3 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 203.5 × 298 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 National Gallery, London, UK. Full size guide.

About the Painting

From the summer of 1629 to the spring of 1630, Rubens stayed in London on the orders of King Philip IV of Spain to negotiate a peace between the two countries. In an allegorical painting he painted there, which he gave to King Charles I of England, the artist gave expression to the hopes and expectations he associated with his diplomatic mission: the goods of peace must not be threatened by war, and so behind the naked goddess Pax (some say Ceres) stands Minerva with a helmet, trying to ward off the untamed god of war, Mars.

In the right half of the painting are several children, among them the one identified as the god of marriage, Hymen, torch in hand, crowning a girl as a sign that marriage can only flourish in peace. Among the studies painted in kind for this group is the fine drawing of a girl in Weimar. Already presented as a whole figure, we recognize in the painting the sweet-faced child with the large eyes between Hymen and the older girl.
