Diego Velázquez ...
Sir Peter Paul Rubens (1577-1640) was from an Antwerp family. In 1591 he became a pupil Verhaecht, a landscape and decorative painter. In 1600 Rubens went to Italy and became a Court painter to Duke of Mantua. He travelled widely in Italy and visited many of the great cities. He spent time studied the works of Titan and Michelangelo. On return to Antwerp he was appointed as the Court Painter to the Spanish Governor of Netherlands, a post he held for the rest of his life. In Antwerp he built himself an Italianate palace and married Isabella Brandt in 1609. Afterward he became perhaps the most energetic and fruitful career in the history of art that made him the most important artist in Northern Europe and the greatest Baroque painter of Northern Europe.
The most learned, inventive and productive artist in the history of the northern Baroque, Rubens’s talent was extraordinary. The range of his work was colossal, encompassing portraiture, allegory, religious painting, landscapes and designs for ornament, tapestry, books and prints. A diplomat and scholar, his intelligent use of iconography was never rivalled, perfectly matching allusions to a patron’s aspirations, while his emotive religious works were actively intended as part of the Catholic armoury against the onslaught of the Protestant Reformation
