Peace and War

Artist: Peter Paul Rubens
Artwork: Peace and War
Description: In the center of the composition are two female figures, one representing Peace and the other War. Peace is depicted as a young woman with a calm expression, wearing a white dress and holding an olive branch. War is depicted as a muscular woman with a fierce expression, wearing a red dress and holding a sword. The two women are shown seated next to each other, with Peace holding War’s hand in an attempt to restrain her. In the background, there is a stormy sky and a dark sea, which suggests that the peace is fragile and could be easily broken.
