"Scaldis and Antwerpia" is a notable Baroque painting by the Flemish artist Abraham Janssens (1575–1632), who was an important figure in the early 17th-century Antwerp art scene. The painting, which dates back to circa 1609, is an allegorical representation of the river god Scaldis, personifying the Scheldt River, and Antwerpia, symbolizing the city of Antwerp. This work is significant as it reflects the pride of Antwerp during a time when the city was a major hub for commerce and art in Europe.

The painting is characterized by its dramatic use of light and shadow, a hallmark of the Baroque style, and the robust, dynamic figures that show the influence of the Italian masters, whom Janssens may have studied during his time in Rome. "Scaldis and Antwerpia" is a prime example of Janssens' skill in composition and his ability to convey complex narratives through visual art.

In the painting, Scaldis is depicted as a powerful bearded figure, with river attributes such as reeds and a cornucopia, symbolizing the river's bounty. Antwerpia is shown as an elegant female figure, representing the city's wealth and culture. The interaction between the two figures illustrates the symbiotic relationship between the river and the city, highlighting the prosperity that the Scheldt River brought to Antwerp.

"Scaldis and Antwerpia" is not only a celebration of the city's golden age but also serves as a historical document of the era's artistic and cultural identity. The painting is held in high regard for its artistic merit and as a symbol of Antwerp's historical significance. It remains an important piece in the oeuvre of Abraham Janssens and a valuable artifact for the study of Flemish Baroque art.
