Original – The Four Continents, also known as The Four Rivers of Paradise, is a painting by Flemish artist Peter Paul Rubens, made in the 1610s. In the traditional interpretation it depicts the female personifications of four continents (Europe, Asia, Africa and America) sitting with the personifications of their respective major rivers – the Danube, the Ganges, the Nile and the Río de la Plata.

  • Support -- Nice that we feature Rubens. He is truly on of the giants of the art history. People use to frown about the fact that he liked big women, well, he did. He liked life, and all the good things that come with it, food, vine, women, pleasures and so what? But he was also an extraordinary man, not only a very good painter but a gifted diplomat, a kind and gentle person, and his technique and brushwork is just fantastic.
