Flemish Baroque artist Hans Jordaens primarily painted historical, domestic scenes, and animal motifs as a member of the Guild of St. Luke in Antwerp. As an exemplary 17th-century Antwerp piece, this painting demonstrates the intelligent use of color and the practiced composition that made this city a “New Rome” regarding its importance for the visual arts.
