Commissioned by Ferdinando II de Medici, Rubens employed numerous references, both contemporary and ancient, to illustrate the dire state of the continent after one of the longest and most brutal wars in human history where fighting, famine and disease claimed more than 8 million casualties. Holding up a mirror in equally testing times, Crews-Chubb has turned the themes in Ruben’s masterwork on their head and reinterpreted them within today’s context and through his own artistic lens:
