Battle of the Amazons depicts the war scenes
caused by the love of the hero Theseus and
Queen Amazon Hippolyta. Two groups of
people met on the bridge, one after another.
The fierce battle was very spectacular. Hero
Theseus travelled to Asia grams, and saw Queen
Amazon and asked her to marry him. After the
marriage, the hero took her home, which caused
the dissatisfaction of Amazon tribe. Then Amazon
tribe sent troops to attack the Greek and had an
undefeated season. At that time Theseus went to
the maze of Crete to get rid of the cow
monster. Until he got this news, the
Amazons was about to attack Athens. Theseus
immediately led the army against them. Both
sides fought on the bridge head of Morton
and launched a bloody battle the Amazons
desperately struggled to keep their flag, the
Greek army irresistibly forwarded to the left
of the bridge. The bridge appeared utterly
routed breathtaking image.
There was a strong light and shade contrast in
the painting and a dark wave movement in the sky.
Heavy clouds formed a subdued atmosphere to foil
the fierce war. The flowing of colors drew a line
spinner, and everything was in a tragic to kill
the storm. The painter through enemy battle
scenes captured the heroic behavior to seize the
flag. Although at a disadvantage, the Amazons
still showed the unshakable will to fight. There
has been a running horse on the
2
right, and Amazon warriors in the rolling river
gave people strong dynamic feelings. The whole
painting was agitated, and thrilling. The total
momentum was like a whirlwind mission, firmly
toward the right of the bridge. The
dense characters level was subject to a
continuous movement. The passion that
color showed had reached the highest point.
Some researchers believed that this painting
was influenced by da Vincis Battle of Angele,
which was not the exact. Rubens had not seen
them, even if he was able to see, they were only
the two copies or sketches. On the
conception of Rubens's painting, he was
not imitating previous actions. The painter is by
virtue of his skilled realistic skills to make
the lines and colors echo with each other
and endowed with his originality.
