Short description:
Die Wiener Gewitterlandschaft mit Jupiter, Merkur, Philemon und Baucis gehört zu Peter Paul Rubens größten und dramatischsten Landschaftsbildern. Ausgehend von den tiefgreifenden Erkenntnissen der jüngsten Restaurierung gibt der Band einen umfassenden Einblick in den Entstehungsprozess dieses faszinierenden Bildes wie auch in seine kunsthistorische Deutung.
Long description:
The Great Landscape with a Tempest in Vienna is one of Peter Paul Rubenss largest and most dramatic landscapes. Starting from the far-reaching discoveries during the latest restoration, the volume provides a comprehensive insight into the process of creation of this fascinating picture as well as its art-historical interpretation.
Evidently produced for pleasure, the Great Landscape remained in Rubenss possession until his death. As the restoration has shown, Rubens changed the painting several times and only added the story of Philemon and Baucis at the end. The poor elderly couple were the only ones to offer Jupiter and Mercury hospitality and were thus rescued from the punishment of the floods. The restoration procedures and the complex composition and creation of the painting are discussed together with its art-historical classification. A consideration of Rubenss portrayal of nature and thus the outstanding position of this work in European landscape painting round out the presentation.
