Image description

This is a sketch for one of nine canvasses Rubens painted for the ceiling of the Banqueting House at Whitehall Palace in London. A female nude representing bounty empties a cornucopia loaded with fruit, coins, and the royal sceptre and crown. Charles I commissioned this allegory to celebrate the liberality and prosperity of his father James, and the whole Stuart dynasty. Ironically, the ceiling was the last work of art Charles I saw as he stepped onto the executioner’s scaffold from the Banqueting House in 1649.
