Did you know?
This painting is one of a series of sketches and works that Rubens created as preparations for a grand series of tapestries known as the 'Triumph of the Eucharist.' The series was commissioned by the Infanta Isabella Clara Eugenia, the Governess of the Netherlands, for the Convent of the Descalzas Reales in Madrid. It serves as a masterful example of Baroque allegory, blending theological themes with the exuberant, fleshy figures characteristic of the artist's style.
