Sir Peter Paul Rubens (1577-1640), the renowned Flemish artist, is celebrated for his dynamic and expressive Baroque masterpieces. In "Living Biographies of Great Painters, " we delve into his life and art. Rubens' Portrait of Johanna de Blois (c. 1634-35) showcases his mastery of oil painting, while his self-portrait (1619, chalk) reveals his skill in drawing. Queen Henrietta Maria of England's portrait (c. 1636-38) is a testament to his ability to capture the essence of his subjects. Rubens' self-portraits, including those based on engravings by Claessens (1763-1823) and illustrated by Ross (1873-1946), offer glimpses into his artistic evolution. The Cats Concert (engraving and etching on laid paper) and Portrait of Magdalena de Cuyper (c. 1635-36) further highlight Rubens' versatility and his significant contribution to Flemish Baroque art.
