Peter Paul Rubens Prints – Mythology, Figures & Sacred Art
Peter Paul Rubens prints bring intertwined figures, moving drapery and dramatic gestures to sacred and mythological subjects. Small groups and crowded narratives offer different ways to explore the body within a larger composition. Browse unframed prints, framed prints and canvas panels, alongside Christian art and mythological prints.
The figure group and its changing viewpoints
The Three Graces arranges three standing bodies in a linked group, with different turns of the head and torso. Landscape and hanging flowers surround the figures without taking attention away from their relationship. Other mythological subjects introduce more active poses and crowded settings.
A sacred scene built around a diagonal
The Descent from the Cross draws the pale body and cloth down through a gathering of darker figures. The connected gestures make the group feel like one continuous action. Browse Christian prints for further interpretations of sacred narratives.
Movement across the whole composition
The Fall of Phaeton fills the image with turning bodies, horses, cloud and shafts of light. Separate forms seem caught within a larger sweeping movement. The collection also includes individual saints, heads and other figure subjects, offering quieter counterparts to these dramatic arrangements.
