| Description |
English: Oil sketch (modello) for the altarpiece commissioned by Prince-Bishop Viet Adam von Gepeckh for Freising Cathedral. Originally commissione to Hans Rottenhammer in 1623. It is unknown when the commission was transferred to Rubens, apparently Rottenhammer was delayed in his work by 1625, and Rubens took over at some point before 1632, when the completed painting is first mentioned when it was evacuated in advance of invading Swedish troops (Memorant Frisingenses chartae, commode ex ara maiori Basilicae cathedralia fuisse praereptim Matris Apocalypticae effigiem, quam manu celebratissimi Rubenii pictam fuisse alibi rettulimus.)
In the center the Woman holds her Child while trampling the snake of sin. To the left the angels cast out Satan, (the "great red dragon with seven heads") and other daemons. Above, God instructs an angel to place a pair of wings on the Virgin's shoulders. Français : Projet peint à l'huile pour le maître-autel de la cathédrale de Freising, pour le compte du prince-évêque Vit-Adam. La Femme portant son enfant foule aux pieds le serpent du Péché. À gauche, les anges chassent Satan (symbolisé par l'hydre à sept têtes) et ses démons. Dieu charge un ange de donner des ailes à la femme.) |
