## Commentary

Throughout his career Schut painted scenes, especially in grisaille, for medallions and cartouches in the centre of the flower garlands by Daniel Seghers; he was in fact Segher&#39;s most important collaborator for these. In addition he remained popular as a painter of mythological and allegorical subjects. A good example of his inventiveness in this area is his Rape of Europa.
