Rubens and his Wife by Fernando Botero

The Colombian master boldly and with exquisite humor reinvents a famous self-portrait by the great Flemish painter Rubens here. By generously expanding the proportions of the two characters, the artist beautifully transforms a classic scene of conjugal affection into a joyful and monumental celebration of flesh and volume. The imposing silhouette of the woman, seated comfortably on her husband’s lap, majestically occupies the space, while the rich and warm colors bring an undeniable sensuality to the entire composition. The great attention paid to the fine details of the period costumes testifies to the artist’s deep respect for art history. This beautiful art copy will undeniably bring a deliciously quirky aura and a nice touch of contemporary intellectualism to your sumptuous decoration.
