The Rape of the Daughters of Leucippus (after Rubens)
In motion tangled, flesh and flame,
Desire and power blur in shame.
A storm of bodies, fierce and grand—
Beauty seized by unseen hand.
This acrylic on canvas painting reinterprets Baroque dynamism through a contemporary painterly lens, echoing Rubens’ dramatic energy with modern colour intensity and expressive form. The muscular figures, twisting composition, and emotional tension align with history painting in reinterpretation, where classical themes are revisited with fresh technique. It belongs to the genre of neo-baroque figurative art, fusing homage with critique.
