Antwerp puts Rubens world on ice

BBC

The Elevation of the Cross is frozen in time

A winter wonderland of scenes from Flemish painter Peter Paul Rubens is being created by ice artists in the Belgian city of Antwerp.

From Jesus on the cross to adoring shepherds to the Abduction of Ganymede, the scenes are brought to life in blue-tinged ice sculptures.

The creations are part of the Belgian International Snow and Ice Sculpture Festival, which runs until January.

The World of Rubens theme has attracted artists from around the world.

I must confess, I read the title and my first reaction was:

"PEE-WEE'S PLAYHOUSE ON ICE?!?"
