I ordered this on a whim during a sale and it turned out to be the best thing I bought all year. The blues in The Capture of Samson match what I remember from seeing the Rubens in person.
We put money aside for a few months to buy this and I would do it again tomorrow. My daughter recognized The Capture of Samson from a museum trip we took two summers ago. Guests notice it within a minute of walking in. The listing dimensions were accurate to within about half an inch. It came through a January cold snap sitting on the porch at ten below.
The quality is obvious the second you get it out of the box. A Rubens at this price seemed too good to be true, and The Capture of Samson proved me wrong. Everything came double boxed with the corners padded. Well worth the money.
I bought this after two months of looking and I wish I had done it sooner. It looks expensive next to things that cost twice as much. Guests notice it within a minute of walking in. We had two weeks of smoke season with the windows shut and it did not hold the smell…
I have ordered from four stores this year and this was the only one with no issues. It photographs beautifully, and I send pictures to my mother constantly.
