Fall of the Giants 

Jacob Jordaens' "Fall of the Giants" is a dynamic depiction of a biblical scene where the giants, sons of the fallen angels, are crushed by the earth as punishment for their transgressions. The scene is characterized by powerful figures in intense struggle, with a sense of urgency and chaos. The use of chiaroscuro, with stark contrasts between light and shadow, contributes to the dramatic effect, highlighting the muscular forms of the giants. Jordaens, a prominent Flemish Baroque painter, is known for his energetic compositions and realistic depictions of the human body, evident in this work.
