Video – The Horrors of War by Peter Paul Reubens

A wonderful video explaining the mythological inconography Ruben's used to paint about the effects of war. Clear explanations and great insights for adults and students. #kellybagdanov #homeschool #homeschooling #arthistory #arthistoryresource #charlottemasonresource #classicalconversationresource #sonlightresource #storyoftheworldresource #Peterpaulreubens #teachingrubensresources #pacifismresources #pacifism #teachingrubens #rubensresourceI’m converting several of my blog post into videos, and here is one of the first.  Peter Paul Rubens’, The Consequences of War, or the Horrors of War is a fascinating study.  Today I was listening to a book about the Italian Renaissance and found it interesting that for centuries there was seldom a period of extended peace and prosperity in Italy, but due to some complicated circumstances  peace reigned for a period, and this time of peace and plenty allowed the Renaissance to develop and flourish. I hope you enjoy the video and it gives you some ideas to think about.
