"Tereus Confronted with the Head of His Son Itys" is a painting by the Flemish Baroque artist Sir Peter Paul Rubens, created circa 1636-1638. The artwork depicts a scene from Ovid's "Metamorphoses," where Tereus, the King of Thrace, is presented with the head of his son Itys by his wife Procne and her sister Philomela as a gruesome act of revenge. This mythological narrative unfolds after Tereus's heinous acts of rape and mutilation against Philomela, and his betrayal of Procne.

Rubens, known for his dramatic and emotive style, captures the moment of horror and realization with intense emotional power. The painting is characterized by its dynamic composition, vigorous brushwork, and a rich palette that enhances the theatricality of the scene. The figures are rendered with Rubens' signature robustness, and the expressions of the characters convey the depth of their anguish and rage.

The work is a prime example of Rubens' mastery in illustrating complex narratives and his ability to evoke visceral responses from viewers. It showcases his skill in handling themes of violence and revenge, which are recurrent in his extensive oeuvre. "Tereus Confronted with the Head of His Son Itys" is not only a testament to Rubens' artistic prowess but also reflects the cultural and intellectual milieu of the 17th century, where classical mythology was a prevalent source of artistic inspiration.

As of the knowledge cutoff date, the painting is part of the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, Massachusetts, allowing audiences to witness Rubens' interpretation of one of the most harrowing tales from ancient mythology.
