Framed Print of Tomyris with the Head of Cyrus, c. 1637-1638. Creator: Peter Paul Rubens (Flemish, 1577-1640)
Tomyris with the Head of Cyrus, c. 1637-1638. This subject is oddly related to that seen on the other side of the sheet: both feature a severed head, the result of an act of revenge by a powerful woman. The story of Queen Tomyris is a rare one in northern European art. Tomyris ruled a central Asian tribe and her son died while held captive by Cyrus, the king of Persia. Years later, Tomyris avenged her sons death when her armies defeated the Persians in battle and she found Cyruss body and cut off the head. Rubens probably took the story from the ancient Greek historian Herodotus (about 484-425 BC). Heritage Images features heritage image collections. © Heritage Art/Heritage Images
