The Feast of Herod, c. 1637-1638. Creator: Peter Paul Rubens (Flemish, 1577-1640)
The Feast of Herod, c. 1637-1638. During the 1600s, drawings were indispensible in large studios. In addition to being preparations for paintings, they were used by studio assistants to aid the master and were copied by pupils. Extremely cautious, Rubens guarded his drawings like studio secrets from competitors who could exploit them for their own compositions. Striking in its immediacy, this drawing is a preparatory study for a painting now at the Scottish National Gallery in Edinburgh. Herod, wearing a large cap and wrapped in a mantle, shrinks back in horror as Salome uncovers a charger that holds the head of Saint John the Baptist. In the most chilling detail, Herodias, seated at the far side of the table, gestures toward the charger with a fork in her right hand

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Peter Paul Rubens' masterpiece, "The Feast of Herod" created between 1637 and 1638. During the 17th century, drawings held immense value in large studios as they served as crucial preparations for paintings and aids for studio assistants and pupils. Rubens, known for his caution, guarded his drawings like precious secrets to prevent competitors from exploiting them. In this striking drawing, we witness the immediate horror depicted in the preparatory study for a painting now housed at the Scottish National Gallery in Edinburgh. The scene portrays Herod recoiling in terror while wearing a grand cap and draped with a mantle. Salome stands before him, revealing a charger that holds the severed head of Saint John the Baptist. However, it is Herodias who steals attention seated on the far side of the table; she chillingly gestures towards the charger with a fork clutched tightly in her right hand. Rendered with pen and brown ink, along with black and red chalk delicately touched by white gouache highlights, Rubens' skillful execution brings this macabre moment to life. This print captures not only an exquisite example of Baroque art but also serves as a testament to Rubens' mastery within Flemish heritage art. Preserved by Heritage Art/Heritage Images (not affiliated with any commercial use), this image invites us into Ruben's world where every stroke carries profound meaning and emotion.
