"Hygieia with a serpent, after Rubens" is a notable work by the French painter Jean-Antoine Watteau, who is widely recognized for his contribution to the Rococo movement. This artwork is a homage to the Flemish Baroque master Peter Paul Rubens, reflecting Watteau's admiration for Rubens' style and thematic choices. The painting depicts Hygieia, the ancient Greek goddess of health, cleanliness, and hygiene, who is often associated with the prevention of sickness and the continuation of good health. She is traditionally represented with a serpent, which in this context symbolizes medicine and healing, as it is a reference to the Rod of Asclepius, a symbol historically linked to the medical field.

Watteau's interpretation of Hygieia is characterized by a delicate interplay of light and color, which is typical of his painterly technique. The fluidity of his brushwork and the subtle gradation of tones contribute to the ethereal quality of the piece, setting it apart from the more dramatic and robust approach of Rubens. Watteau's rendition is not merely a copy of Rubens' work but rather a personal reinterpretation that infuses the classical subject with the artist's own sensibilities and the lighter, more graceful aesthetic of the Rococo era.

The painting serves as an example of the artistic dialogue between the 17th and 18th centuries, illustrating how artists of the Rococo period sought inspiration from their predecessors while simultaneously pushing the boundaries of artistic expression. "Hygieia with a serpent, after Rubens" is a testament to Watteau's mastery in capturing the essence of his subjects and his ability to translate the grandeur of Baroque art into the more intimate and decorative Rococo style. This work remains an important piece within Watteau's oeuvre, offering insight into his influences and the broader context of art historical evolution during the early 18th century.
