"The Capture of Juliers" (1621-1625) is a notable historical painting by the Flemish Baroque artist Peter Paul Rubens. This work is part of a series of twenty tapestries called "The History of Constantine," which were designed by Rubens and woven in wool, silk, and precious metal threads. The series was commissioned by Louis XIII of France and depicts various episodes from the life of the Roman Emperor Constantine the Great. "The Capture of Juliers" specifically illustrates the moment when Constantine's forces successfully besiege the city of Juliers, an event that is anachronistically represented as part of Constantine's military campaigns, despite actually occurring during the Thirty Years' War.

Rubens' mastery in blending vivid historical narrative with dynamic composition is evident in this piece. The painting showcases his skill in portraying movement and emotion, as well as his use of rich color and dramatic lighting to heighten the impact of the scene. The work is a testament to Rubens' ability to convey grand historical themes through his art, making them both accessible and engaging to viewers.

As with many of Rubens' tapestry designs, "The Capture of Juliers" was likely executed with the assistance of his workshop, which included skilled apprentices and journeymen who contributed to the production of his large-scale commissions. The tapestries were woven under the direction of Marc Comans and François de la Planche, two renowned Parisian tapestry producers of the time.

"The Capture of Juliers" is an important example of Rubens' contributions to the tapestry medium and his role as a court painter. It reflects the political and cultural ambitions of the European elite during the Baroque period, who used such grand artworks to both celebrate their own power and to promote political allegories. Today, the tapestry series is recognized for its artistic and historical significance, with pieces from the collection held in various museums and private collections around the world.
