Oil on Canvas
18 x 36
 
There are no more plump women left for Peter Paul Rubens to immortalize on canvas. Instead, he becomes the subject of scrutiny, placed at the center of attention in a clever inversion of his artistic narrative. This composition juxtaposes Rubens‚ historical dialogue of sexualized women with a satirical twist, turning the tables on the artist himself. A woman, pointing directly at him with an expression of mockery or judgment, embodies a humorous yet pointed critique of his body of work.
