A porcelain tondo,
circular body with polychrome-painted image of ‘The rape of the daughters of Leucippus’ after Rubens, to the right signed H. Serle, Ø 50 cm, with frame 102 x 89 cm, porcelain, presumably Bohemia, 2nd half of the 19th cent. (Ru)
Peter Paul Rubens, Siegen 28.6.1577-30.5.1640 Antwerp, Flemish painter, circa 1618 painted The rape of the daughters of Leucippus, today in the Alte Pinakothek in Munich; Castor and Pollux, sons of Leda and Zeus, carried off Hilaeira and Phoebe, the daughters of King Leucippus of Argos, shortly before they were to be married. In this masterpiece, Rubens succeeds in accommodating within the frame of this picture four figures and two horses in motion, who together fill the canvas, and yet he manages to retain a certain level of naturalism. The artist employed a sophisticated choreographical positioning of the group to achieve this.
