Painted at the height of Sir Peter Paul Rubens’ career, Lot and his Daughters (circa 1613-1614), is an outstanding masterpiece of the artist’s early maturity, and one of the most important paintings by the master to have remained in private hands. Unseen for over a century, the work — which measures over two metres across — will be exhibited during Christie’s Classic Week in New York (8-15 April 2016), and in Hong Kong (26-30 May 2016), before being offered in London Classic Week, leading the Old Master & British Paintings Evening Sale on 7 July. 
When he painted Lot and Daughters, Sir Peter Paul Rubens (1577-1640) had already gained a reputation as one of the most important and fashionable artists in Antwerp, and was at the centre of the European artistic stage. He had worked in Rome, at the court of Vincenzo I Gonzaga, Duke of Mantua, and, in 1609, was appointed court painter to the Archdukes Albert and Isabella of Brussels. 
It was during this period that Rubens produced some of his most renowned works, including two monumental altarpieces, The Raising of the Cross, commissioned in 1610 for the church of St Walburga, and The Descent from the Cross, painted between 1611-1614 for Antwerp Cathedral. In addition to these public works, Rubens carried out a number of private commissions, instilling traditional religious subjects – including Lot and his Daughters  – with an exciting new energy. 
‘After the historic private sale of two Rembrandt Portraits to the French and Dutch states earlier this year, Christie’s is leading the masterpiece market by offering this monumental work by the other stellar artist of the Northern School, Sir Peter Paul Rubens. The impact of the painting in the flesh is overwhelming: we look forward to seeing the reactions of those who come to view it when we exhibit it in New York, Hong Kong and London,’ comments Paul Raison, Deputy Chairman, Old Master Pictures.
