Peter Paul Rubens was the most inventive and prolific northern
European artist of his age. This book discusses his life and work
in relation to three interrelated themes: spirit, ingenuity and
genius. It argues that Rubens and his reception were pivotal in the
transformation of early modern ingenuity into Romantic genius.
Ranging across the artist's entire career, it explores Rubens's
engagement with these themes in his art and biography. The book
looks at Rubens's forays into altarpiece painting in Italy as well
as his collaborations with fellow artists in his hometown of
Antwerp, and his complex relationship with the spirit of pleasure.
It concludes with his late landscapes in connection to genius loci,
the spirit of the place.
