Peter Paul Rubens: The Homer of Painting

Baroque and Roll
Meet Sir Peter Paul Rubens, master painter and polymath

There are over 1,000 catalogued works by Sir Peter Paul Rubens (1577â€“1640), the 16th-century flag bearer for Baroque drama, movement, and sensuality. This essential introduction takes in the most important works from this astonishingly prolific oeuvre to explore Rubensâ€™s influences and innovations, and his remarkable visual, and art historical, impact.

The richly illustrated survey takes in Rubensâ€™s portraits, landscapes, historical paintings, as well as his famed and bountiful nudes. Along the way, we examine the artistâ€™s astonishing technique and his deft ability to depict narrative in a compelling and legible visual form, whether an erotic mythologial scene or a tender biblical story. This remarkable artistic bravura is placed in context both with Rubensâ€™s long art historical legacy through van Dyck, VelÃ¡zquez, and beyond, and his other talents as a classical scholar, diplomat, and knight.
