Kings Clothar and Dagobert dispute with a Herald from the Emperor Mauritius
Artist: Peter Paul Rubens (Belgian, 1577 - 1640)
Original Dimensions: 42 3/8" x 16 1/8"
Location: National Gallery of Art, London
About Artwork: (1611-12) "Rubens made this oil sketch, along with two others, in preparation for an altarpiece commissioned for St Bavo’s Cathedral, Ghent. The central panel depicts Saint Bavo, a Roman soldier who left the military for the Christian Church, being received as a monk. This scene, in which King Clothar and his son King Dagobert each sit astride a horse, appears on the right panel. The two kings hold their arms out defiantly to block the advances of a herald of the Roman Emperor Mauritius. He thrusts a scroll towards them, which contains an edict from the Emperor forbidding his soldiers from becoming monks. In defiance of the edict, Clothar and Dagobert support Saint Bavo being received into the Church. Although the three main figures are surrounded by a crowd of people, it is the horses that dominate the composition, especially Dagobert’s silvery steed – its body covers the width of the painting." - (National Gallery of Art, London)
