Castor and Pollux (Polydeukes), sons of Leda and Zeus, rob Hilaeira and Phoibe, the daughters of King Leucippus of Argos, shortly before their wedding. - Rubens succeeds in the masterpiece of accommodating four people in motion and two horses in full format on a square picture surface while still maintaining a certain degree of naturalness. The group is based on a sophisticated choreography.
