Synopsis

When Peter Paul Rubens died in 1640 he left an indestructible reputation as one of the world's great painters. In every sense Baroque, his paintings have a wonderful fluidity, a powerful sensuality, a beauty and richness of color and texture. His prolific output included some 1,300 paintings (compare this with Leonardo's twenty and Vermeer's thirty-six) as well as books of engravings, architectural drawings, and sketches. He also left a beautiful young wife, a vast personal fortune, a palatial house in Antwerp, and collections of old masters, antiquities, precious stones, and silverwork.
