Born in Antwerp in 1577, the young Peter Paul Rubens travelled extensively in Italy, soaking up the artistic achievements of the High Renaissance. Returning to Flanders, he began a career that combined Renaissance technique with a new boldness of approach towards color and brushwork. His mastery at depicting surface texture can be seen in his religious images commissioned by the Catholic church. But Rubens was undoubtedly a man of the world, a charming individual who worked as a diplomat and whose connections resulted in a great number of portrait commissions. It is these portraits that are, perhaps, the most enduring achievements of a giant of art history. Features the views of leading authorities, art historians and scholars.
