George"): and a good anatomical study of a human body as Argus. In thedays of Rubens, you must remember, mythology was thought of as a mereempty form of compliment or fable, and the original meaning of itwholly forgotten. Rubens never dreamed that Argus is the night, orthat his eyes are stars; but with the absolutely literal and brutalpart of his Dutch nature supposes the head of Argus full of real eyesall over, and represents Hebe cutting them out with a bloody knife andputting one into the ha...nd of the goddess, like an unseemly oyster.
That conception of the action, and the loathsome sprawling of thetrunk of Argus under the chariot, are the essential contributions ofRubens' own Netherland personality. Then the rest of the treatment helearned from other schools, but adopted with splendid power.
47. First, I think, you ought to be struck by having two largepeacocks painted with scarcely any color in them! They are nearlyblack, or black-green, peacocks. Now you know that Rubens is alwaysspoken of as a great colorist, _par excellence_ a colorist; and wouldyou not have expected that--before all things--the first thing hewould have seen in a peacock would have been gold and blue?
