One of his finest works, The Battle of the Amazons mural wallpaper by Peter Paul Rubens is a dramatic and detailed work of art. Crowded with figures and incidents, this scene depicts Athenians overtaking the mythical warrior woman race The Amazons. Horses and riders topple, hurtle, or slither from a too-small bridge. Weapons are raised and thrust made and parried. In the skyline, a city burns, its smoke sweeping up behind the mass of bodies and continuing its movement into the sky.
