 * Support - Lovely. (Question about size): I wonder tought about the dimensions... 98.4 × 131.2 cm .. the size of a coffee table? - surely it is much bigger)... OK, I got that, it is a reproduction, a poster. Well, still it is weird to say 98.4 × 131.2 cm ...38.7 × 51.7 inch -I do think that the original is probably several metres. This said, painting in the large scale. The Fall of Phaeton above is one example of Ruben’s masterful composition on a large scale...  98.4 × 131.2 cm (38.7 × 51.7 in) - is not much of a large scale.

 * All of the sources give 98.4 * 131.2 (ex). I don't think Empty Easel is a site to rely on. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:57, 14 April 2014 (UTC)
 * The National Gallery of Art entry confirms it's 98.4 x 131.2 cm, without framing. Brandmeistertalk 18:27, 14 April 2014 (UTC)
 * How weird. That is a very little space to put all this grandious, flamboyant, splashy, magnificent work on. Great picture. Hafspajen (talk) 21:31, 14 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Ah, the explanation: an early work!!! . Thereof the moderate size. His later paintings are much bigger. (Sure when counting he was 27 years when he painted it) Hafspajen (talk) 04:33, 15 April 2014 (UTC)
