Return of the Prodigal Son
1618 Oil on canvas, 107 x 155 cm Koninklijk Museum voor Schone Kunsten, Antwerp When Rubens died in 1640, he still possessed his Prodigal Son of 1618. Amongst his many grand altarpieces and dramatic mythological subjects, the creation of this rural scene, intended for his own living room, must have given him a great deal of pleasure. The biblical subject - depicted bottom right - serves merely as a vehicle for the painting of one of his earliest landscapes. , Artist: RUBENS, Pieter Pauwel , Return of the Prodigal Son , 1601-1650 , Flemish , painting , religious

RUBENS, Pieter Pauwel
Raising of the Cross
1610 Oil on panel, 460 x 340 cm (centre panel), 460 x 150 cm (wings) O.-L. Vrouwekathedraal, Antwerp Rubens painted the triptych for the high altar of Antwerp's church of St Walpurgis, which was demolished in 1817. That explains the inclusion of Amand, Walpurgis and Eligius on the back side of the wings. The triptych marked Rubens' sensational introduction of the Baroque style into Northern art. The diagonal composition is full of dynamism and animated colour. The artist had just returned from Italy, with the memory of Michelangelo, Caravaggio and Venetian painting still fresh in his mind. The Raising of the Cross is the perfect summation of the unruly bravura that marked his first years in Antwerp. In the centre nine executioners strain with all their might to raise the cross from which Christ's pale body hangs. The dramatic action is witnessed from the left by St John, the Virgin Mary and a group of weeping women and children. On the right, a Roman officer watches on horseback while soldiers in the background are crucifying the two thieves. In other words, the subject is spread across all three panels. The outside of the wings shows Saints Amand, Walpurgis, Eligius and Catherine of Alexandria. The painting was confiscated by the French in 1794 and taken to Paris. It was returned to Antwerp in 1815, following the defeat of Napoleon, and installed in the church of Our Lady. During restoration in the 1980s, successive layers of varnish, which had form an even grey veil over the painting, were removed. The burgeoning talent of the confident young Rubens is more clearly visible now in the intense emotion of the figures, the contrasting lighting, the glow of the labouring bodies and the gleam of the armour and costly robes. , Artist: RUBENS, Pieter Pauwel , Raising of the Cross , 1601-1650 , Flemish , painting , religious

Raising of the Cross
1610 Oil on panel, 460 x 150 cm O.-L. Vrouwekathedraal, Antwerp Rubens painted the triptych for the high altar of Antwerp's church of St Walpurgis, which was demolished in 1817. That explains the inclusion of Amand, Walpurgis and Eligius on the back side of the wings. According to tradition, Bishop Amand founded that church - Antwerp's first - some time around 650. He features on the outside of the wings in the company of Walpurgis, a 8th-century saint, who supposedly lived for several years as a hermitess in the church's crypt, before becoming abbess of the convent she founded in Bavaria. In the right shutter, Rubens placed St Eligius, the blacksmith and bishop. Eligius was the patron saint of Antwerp's blacksmiths, who had their altar at St Walpurgis. Catherine of Alexandria stands in front of him with her martyr's sword and palm branch. The prominent position she is given in the altarpiece no doubt had something to do with a special devotion in the church, perhaps a confraternity of St Catherine, of which, however, no details are known. , Artist: RUBENS, Pieter Pauwel , Raising of the Cross: Sts Amand and Walpurgis , 1601-1650 , Flemish , painting , religious

Descent from the Cross

The elderly Simeon holds the Child in his arms while the prophetess Anna, located in the shadows between Simeon and Mary, looks on joyfully. Joseph, who has brought two sacrificial doves with him, kneels down respectfully. The onlooker on the left edge of this splendid temple interior is Nicolaas Rockox, a friend of Rubens and a prominent figure in Antwerp. , Artist: RUBENS, Pieter Pauwel , Descent from the Cross (right wing) , 1601-1650 , Flemish , painting , religious

Triumphal Entry of Henry IV into Paris
1627-30 Oil on canvas, 380 x 692 cm Galleria degli Uffizi, Florence This canvas belongs to the unfinished cycle dedicated to Henry IV and shows the king, converted and victorious, entering Paris on 22 March 1594 at the end of a long period of internal struggles. Renouncing any reference to time or place, Rubens illustrates the episode in a complex allegorical context, creating an analogy with the triumph of a Roman emperor. In particular, the group of the crowned king and the architecture of the triumphal arch (derived from the Roman prototype of the arch of Titus), surmounted by soldiers and horses, arise from en evident reinterpretation of Mantegna's painting of Caesar's Chariot. *** Keywords: ************* Author: RUBENS, Pieter Pauwel Title: Triumphal Entry of Henry IV into Paris, 1601-1650, Flemish , painting , historical
