Deucalione e Pirra — Storia e analisi

Deucalione e Pirra, avvolti in abiti fluidi, scagliano pietre dietro di loro mentre nuove figure emergono dalla terra ai loro piedi, i loro gesti urgenti sotto un cielo tempestoso. Deucalione e Pirra rappresenta la coppia mitologica le cui azioni ripopolano il mondo dopo un diluvio, come descritto nelle fonti classiche. Peter Paul Rubens dipinse questo schizzo a olio nel 1636 come lavoro preparatorio per un dipinto ora perduto di Jan Cossiers, commissionato per la Torre de la Parada.
