Deucalion et Pyrrha — Histoire et analyse

Deucalion et Pyrrha, drapés dans des vêtements fluides, lancent des pierres derrière eux tandis que de nouvelles figures émergent de la terre à leurs pieds, leurs gestes urgents sous un ciel orageux. Deucalion et Pyrrha représente le couple mythologique dont les actions repeuplent le monde après un déluge, comme décrit dans des sources classiques. Peter Paul Rubens a peint cette esquisse à l'huile en 1636 comme un travail préparatoire pour une peinture aujourd'hui perdue de Jan Cossiers, qui a été commandée pour la Torre de la Parada.
