This lively mythological scene by Peter Paul Rubens (1577–1640) depicts the wedding feast of the sea nymph Thetis and the mortal Peleus — the very banquet where the goddess of discord threw the golden apple that would eventually spark the Trojan War. Rubens shows the goddesses Venus, Juno and Minerva already vying for the prized apple, capturing the moment jealousy entered the celebration. The composition was created as an oil sketch for a hunting lodge built for King Philip IV of Spain.
Jacquard-woven in soft, durable cotton — a warm, fully reversible throw for the sofa, bed or reading chair.

The soft gray is a shade or two off from what I expected. Half my reason for ordering was The Wedding of Peleus and Thetis, and that half worked out. The blanket works in the space and I am still not certain about it. The light in the Pacific Northwest is gray most of the year and this still holds its color. Average is not the same thing as bad…
It arrived two days after I ordered, which I did not expect. The texture in The Wedding of Peleus and Thetis makes Rubens feel present in the room. It arrived faster than most orders manage to get to us out here. Highly recommended if you are hesitating.
I wanted something for the playroom that nobody else would have, and this is it. Everything that makes The Wedding of Peleus and Thetis special survived the reproduction. Everything about this was right.
I ordered it on a Friday and it was here Monday. My daughter recognized The Wedding of Peleus and Thetis from her art class and was thrilled. It went straight into the study and has not moved since. One very happy customer here.
I'm really pleased with this. The scan behind The Wedding of Peleus and Thetis is clean, with no obvious artifacts. It gave the stairwell the anchor it was missing. I ordered on a Sunday night and it shipped Monday morning. Solid purchase, no regrets…
