The Four Continents
The Four Continents is a painting by Flemish artist Peter Paul Rubens made in the 1610s. It is held to depict female personifications of four continents (Europe, Asia, Africa and America) sitting with the personifications of their respective major rivers: the Danube, the Ganges, the Nile and the Río de la Plata. Other interpretations have suggested that these four female figures are nymphs representing the headwaters of four major rivers. The painting is held at the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna.Painting: Peter Paul Rubens
