In 1600, Peter Paul Rubens left his home in Antwerp to travel to
Italy and study the Italian masters. Eight years later, he returned
to Belgium and quickly established himself as one of the foremost
painters in Western Europe. This book explores Rubens' work from
1609 until 1621 and how, acutely aware of the possibilities for
commercial success, he rose to fame by establishing a "brand" and
promoting himself. He created multiple versions of paintings with
subjects that had proven to be successful, used similar subject
matter to that used by famous artists in the past, and sought
collaborators to create more ambitious works than he could have
done alone. He also created a studio and workshop with numerous
students and assistants, the most famous being Anthony van Dyck who
frequently collaborated with Rubens. Through paintings, drawings,
and prints, this book shows how a desire for commercial success
influenced and changed Rubens' artistic style. Essays delve into
Italy's effect on Rubens, on the narrative aspect of his paintings,
and how he managed commissions from famous patrons. Filled with new
insights on the most fruitful phase of Rubens' career, this book
offers a refreshing look at one of the most influential Baroque
artists.
