Description
The painting "Tereus Confronted With The Head Of His Son Itylus" by Peter Paul Rubens was created between 1636 and 1638. It is based on the ancient Greek myth of Tereus, who killed his wife's sister, Itylus, and served her cooked body to his wife, Philomela, as a meal. In the painting, Tereus is shown holding the head of Itylus, while being confronted by Minerva (the goddess of wisdom) and Mars (the god of war). The scene represents the moment when Tereus realizes the gravity of his actions and faces the consequences of his brutality. Rubens' use of vivid colors and dramatic lighting adds to the tension and emotion in this powerful painting, which serves as a reminder of the tragic consequences of violence and revenge.
