| Reverse description | Full-color reproduction of the central panel of Peter Paul Rubens' monumental triptych 'The Raising of the Cross' (c. 1610–1611, Cathedral of Our Lady, Antwerp), depicting muscular figures straining to erect the cross bearing the crucified Christ. The dynamic Baroque composition fills the square field with dramatic chiaroscuro, vivid coloration, and vigorous figural movement characteristic of Rubens' mature style. The legend 'PETER PAUL RUBENS' appears vertically along the left border and 'THE RAISING OF THE CROSS' vertically along the right border, both in white capitals against the black margin. The date '2012' is inscribed vertically in the lower-left corner of the border. |
