''Rape of the Daughters of Leucippus'' is a renowned oil painting by the Flemish artist Peter Paul Rubens, created circa 1618. Housed in the Alte Pinakothek in Munich, Germany, this work exemplifies Rubens' mastery of Baroque art, characterized by its dynamic composition, vibrant colors, and emotional intensity. The painting depicts the mythological abduction of the daughters of Leucippus, Hilaeira and Phoebe, by the twin brothers Castor and Pollux, known collectively as the Dioscuri.

In the myth, the Dioscuri fell in love with the daughters of Leucippus, who were betrothed to the twins Lynceus and Idas. Rubens' interpretation captures the moment of abduction with a dramatic flair that is typical of his style. The painting is notable for its depiction of movement and the muscular, almost sculptural, rendering of the human body, which reflects Rubens' study of classical sculpture and his interest in human anatomy.

The composition is arranged diagonally, with the figures intertwined in a swirling motion that draws the viewer's eye across the canvas. The use of chiaroscuro, the contrast between light and dark, enhances the three-dimensionality of the forms and adds to the overall drama of the scene. The flesh tones of the figures are rendered with a sensuousness that is characteristic of Rubens' work, while the drapery and background landscape are executed with looser brushwork, providing a sense of depth and context to the central action.

''Rape of the Daughters of Leucippus'' is considered a prime example of Rubens' ability to convey narrative through visual means and is celebrated for its combination of classical themes with the exuberance and grandeur of the Baroque period. The painting remains an important work in the study of 17th-century European art and continues to be admired for its artistic and historical significance.
