LONDON
.-Vigo, in association with English Heritage, is presenting The Consequences of Play, a series of six epic paintings by British artist Daniel Crews-Chubb relating to Wellington Arch, Apsley House and its environs and inspired by Peter Paul Rubens painting The Consequences of War (1638/9), which allegorically depicted Europe in the aftermath of the Thirty Years War (1618-1648). 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 Rubens masterwork on their head and reinterpreted them within todays context and through his own artistic lens:
