In 1622 Rubens published a splendid volume on Genoese Renaissance
architecture, with precise engravings depicting facades and plans
of a dozen villas and palaces. In publishing famous examples of
'modern' architecture, Rubens intended to trace the development of
architecture in his own country and all over Europe. He believed
that the true principles of good building, both aesthetically and
functionally, were discovered by the Ancients and rediscovered in
Renaissance Italy. In publishing his book at the height of his
fame, Rubens succeeded in presenting himself not only as a great
painter but also as a connoisseur and authoritative teacher in the
field of architecture. This two-volume part of the Corpus
Rubenianum explains the history of Rubens's book, analyses in
detail his comments and interpretations of the original plans and
reproduces all drawings.
