"The painting represents a synthesis of Rubens' formal and artistic journey, and reveals the prodigious technical control of the master. Notwithstanding the evident complexity of the figurative plot, articulated in various episodes, in GARDEN OF LOVE everything seems to be resolved with extreme ease. The composition is no longer mannerism, in which the figures are motionless in static space; the dynamism of the characters transmits itself to the architecture and the landscape, reverberating across the entire surface of the canvas.”
