Description
A striking nineteenth-century restrike of a dramatic seventeenth-century woodcut by Flemish artist Christoffel Jegher (1596–1653) after a painting by Peter Paul Rubens (1577–1640). The scene depicts the god Hercules clubbing the vanquished Discord. Jegher brilliantly exploits the bold, inky quality of the woodcut line to deepen the dynamic tension of the scene, capturing the violence and power of Hercules' movement. Signed within the print. On paper.Condition
Signs of wear consistent with age, including discolouration, light foxing, and creasing to the paper. The original paper has been laid to another sheet for support. Tears around the edges of the page. Overall, the artwork is in good condition for its age.
