Flemish-baroque

Pieter Neefs’s "Interior of Antwerp Cathedral" is like stepping into a Gothic architectural fantasy tour representing the Cathedral of Our Lady (in Dutch, Onze-Lieve-Vrouwekathedraal) in Antwerp, Belgium. The representation is extraordinarily precise.

The composition of the ”Tiger Hunt” by Peter Paul Rubens is very dense with horses, wild animals and men dressed in different styles (conquistador helmets and armors, Ottoman robes and turbans, and Roman togas).

Rubens’s Saturn shows the powerful old god in a swirling, dramatic sky clutching his child and tearing flesh from his chest, turning a violent myth into a tense moment of fear, power, and tragic inevitability.
