Deucalhão e Pirra — História e Análise

Deucalhão e Pirra, vestidos com roupas fluidas, lançam pedras atrás de si enquanto novas figuras emergem da terra aos seus pés, com gestos urgentes sob um céu tempestuoso. Deucalhão e Pirra retrata o casal mitológico cujas ações repopulam o mundo após um dilúvio, conforme descrito em fontes clássicas. Peter Paul Rubens pintou este esboço a óleo em 1636 como um trabalho preparatório para uma pintura agora perdida de Jan Cossiers, que foi encomendada para a Torre de la Parada.
