Peter Paul Rubens, a painter and draftsman from Antwerp, was the most important and celebrated 17-century artist from Northern Europe. His influence was particularly strong. From 1620 onwards the so-called ‘high baroque’ (maniera grande) was introduced in his work.
“The Fall of the Damned” is such a highly dramatic and monumental
religious painting. It features a jumble of the bodies of the damned, hurled
into abyss by archangel Michael and accompanying angels.
The sketch of The Fall of the Damned was made in black
and red chalks,
with a grey wash and is kept in the British Museum. It is assumed to be the work of a studio assistant, while Rubens
then went over the drawing with brush and oil colour.
At the lower edges, a monk is pulled down, gnawed by
demons. Above him, a huge woman is carried on the back of another devil, his
tail wrapped around her legs. At all angles, twisting and turning, these
unfortunate souls stare up in terror at their terrible fates, or cover their
heads in shame. No need to tell that this painting impressed the viewer…
