Deucalión y Pirra — Historia y Análisis

Deucalión y Pirra, envueltos en fluidas vestiduras, lanzan piedras detrás de ellos mientras nuevas figuras emergen de la tierra a sus pies, con gestos urgentes bajo un cielo tormentoso. Deucalión y Pirra representa a la pareja mitológica cuyas acciones repoblan el mundo después de un diluvio, tal como se describe en fuentes clásicas. Peter Paul Rubens pintó este boceto al óleo en 1636 como un trabajo preparatorio para una pintura ahora perdida de Jan Cossiers, que fue encargada para la Torre de la Parada.
