About this work

Artist: Peter Paul Rubens (1577–1640)
Year: c. 1633
Medium: Oil on canvas
Original size: 199 × 286 cm
Collection: Museo del Prado, Madrid
Movement: Baroque

Fashionably dressed couples lounge and flirt on the terrace of a garden before a grotto and a fountain of the Three Graces, while winged cupids push the shy toward the bold and a peacock, the bird of Juno, goddess of marriage, perches at the right. At the far left a gentleman escorts a woman in black into the party; he is generally taken to be Rubens himself, and the picture, painted around 1633, is read as a celebration of his second marriage to the young Helena Fourment. It is the grandest of all the merry-company pictures and the ancestor of the eighteenth-century fête galante. Philip IV of Spain acquired it, and in 1666 it was recorded hanging in the king's bedroom in the Royal Palace in Madrid, from which it passed to the Museo del Prado. Nearly three metres wide, it is one of the Prado's great Rubens canvases.

This exhibition-poster edition shows the whole work beneath original typography set in-house. The original is in the public domain.

Is this the whole painting, or a crop?

The whole work, uncropped. The exhibition-poster edition sets the complete image above typography designed in-house.

Is The Garden of Love in the public domain?

Yes. Peter Paul Rubens (1577–1640) died more than 70 years ago and the work was published before 1929, so the painting itself is public domain. This print is a reproduction made from a high-resolution scan of the original, which is held by Museo del Prado.

What is it printed on?

Heavyweight matte fine-art paper with pigment inks, made to order in 12×18, 16×24 and 24×36 inches; the two larger sizes are also offered framed. Colours are matched to the scan, not brightened.

When was The Garden of Love painted, and in what medium?

The Garden of Love dates from c. 1633 and was made in oil on canvas; the original measures 199 × 286 cm.

What size works above a sofa or bed?

For a standard three-seat sofa or a queen bed, 24×36 inches reads as a single statement piece; 16×24 suits a narrower wall or a pairing. The print's proportions follow the original, so a landscape-format painting is wider than it is tall.
