Description:

In Peter Paul Rubens' oil sketch "The Victory of Henry IV at Coutras" (c. 1628), swirling golden hues and warm flesh tones create a dynamic, almost ethereal atmosphere. This preparatory work for a larger painting showcases Rubens' masterful use of light and movement. The central medallion depicts the battle scene with energetic brushstrokes, while allegorical figures frame the composition, their flowing forms echoing the painting's baroque sensibility. Rubens deftly balances historical narrative with mythological symbolism, celebrating Henry IV's triumph while hinting at the divine favor bestowed upon the victor. The sketch's loose, expressive style reveals the artist's creative process, offering a intimate glimpse into the birth of a monumental work.
