EDITORS COMMENTS
In this black and white mezzotint print by Charles Phillips, we are transported back to the 17th century to witness a tender family scene. The renowned artist Peter Paul Rubens is depicted alongside his wife Helena Fourment and their beloved child. Dressed in fashionable attire of the time, their clothing showcases intricate lace details and elegant decolletage for Helena. The full-length portrait captures the essence of familial love as they stand together in a lush garden setting. Rubens, known for his mastery in painting, is shown here not as an artist but as a devoted husband and father. His gentle gaze towards his wife reveals deep affection while Helena radiates maternal warmth towards their child. This intimate portrayal highlights the bond shared between them. The meticulous attention to detail in this artwork transports us into the past, allowing us to glimpse into the lives of these historical figures. Through Phillips' skillful rendering, we can appreciate both the beauty of their physical appearances and sense the harmony within their family unit. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this print serves as a testament to Rubens' legacy as an artist who excelled not only on canvas but also in nurturing personal relationships. It reminds us that even great artists find joy and fulfillment beyond their creative endeavors - within the embrace of loved ones.
