Details: Product Description Peter Paul Rubens was one of the most productive and exciting painters of his time, noted for his expressive, emotive and sensual paintings which are now instantly recognizable. Indeed, his voluptuous female figures have given rise to the word ‘Rubenesque’. This book explores the life and times of Rubens, from his early studies in Italy through to his apprenticeship in Antwerp and his subsequent outstanding accomplishments as ‘the prince of painters and the painter of princes’. It also contains a gallery of 300 of his paintings and drawings, revealing his unparalleled position as an artist, diplomat, scholar, linguist, teacher, art collector and devoted family man. About the Author Susie Hodge has an MA in the History of Art by Research from the University of London. As an author and illustrator, Susie has written many books for adults and children on art history, practical art and history. She is the author of Cézanne, Gauguin, Goya, Monet, Renoir and Velázquez in this series.
