Traces the life and career of the Flemish artist, shows a selection of his paintings, and discusses their background.

Bnbens. Since Walpole sdays books bave multiplied and historical documents have been discovered, arranged and calendared, in every capital of Europe. In order to write a complete life of Bubens now, it would be necessary to search through an immense mass of documents at the Hague, Brussels, Paris, Simancas, Vienna, and Mantua, besides carefully examining our own records. Neither time nor space would allow of this, if I had had the opportunity in other ways. All I have here attempted has been to give a resume of the facts discovered by others, a very large number of which have not only never appeared in English, but have not even been brought together until now Bubens has suffered from his twofold character and his polyglot acquirements. But few persons are interested alike in his artistic and his diplomatic career. I have wished to give a due weight to each view of his character as far as the limited space at my disposal would allow.
