What is Rubens : a Portrait : Beauty and the Angelic about?
Peter Paul Rubens (1577-1640) is both one of the world's greatest painters and a mystery. His monumental canvases, featuring battling lions, sensual gardens of love, and 'Rubenesque' women, are viewed with wonder, joy and a suspicion that they have little to do with modern times. The pre-eminent genius of the Baroque, who worked as a diplomat and spy, and whose paintings are displayed in museums world-wide, studied and fought over at auctions, seems disconnected from the present.
