This photo reproduction, created by Dechamps et Cie. before 1864, depicts a scene from Peter Paul Rubens's painting "The Birth of Maria de'Medici." The photo, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, showcases the original painting's dramatic composition, featuring a dynamic interplay of figures and a sense of divine intervention. It captures the birth of Maria de'Medici, Queen of France, surrounded by allegorical figures, including the goddess Juno, who represents the power and lineage of the Medicis. This photo provides a glimpse into the artistic legacy of Rubens, one of the most celebrated Baroque painters.
