Apotheosis Henry IV. and the announcement of the regency of Marie de Medici

The painting depicts a chaotic scene full of figures that may represent mythological gods and heroes. On the left is a man in a red cloak sitting on clouds, gesturing towards the centre of the work. In the foreground is a scattering of several people and mythical creatures, including a warrior falling and a woman in white who appears to be calling for help. Around them are figures in traditional robes and military armour. The overall effect of the work is dynamic and emotive.

Petrus Paulus Rubens (1577-1639). Native German baroque painter. His work represents the perfect Baroque style, both in terms of composition (the interaction of colours, shapes and light) and themse. His paintings deviated aesthetically at the time – he often painted sensual female figures rationalistically. They are full of dynamics, colours and emotionally tense scenes. His work is independent, more personal and more informed than the creations of his time. For this reason, he significantly influenced his contemporaries.
