Arguably the greatest artist of the Baroque period, Peter Paul
Rubens was an accomplished painter and draughtsman, as well as a
valued diplomat. This accessible examination of his life and work
looks at every aspect of Rubens's oeuvre; from his commissioned
portraits of royalty and the nobility to his magnificent
representations of ancient myths, Biblical stories, and historical
events. This incisive biography traces his life as a student in
Venice, where he encountered the works of Titian and Tintoretto,
the establishment of his studio in Antwerp, and the lucrative
patronages of Marie de Medici and Phillip IV. Full page
reproductions of Rubens's work communicate his energetic and
dynamic style, along with his masterful use of color and sensuous
depictions of the human body.
