Peter Paul Rubens was born on June 28, 1577, in Siegen as the son of a legal scholar from Antwerp and initially attended a humanistic and Catholic school. Before spending time as a pupil with the landscape painter Tobias Verhaecht in Antwerp, he briefly served as a page to Margaret of Ligne, a position he did not enjoy at all. Eventually, between 1592 and 1598, Rubens studied under Adam van Noort and Otto van Veen. He continued working with the latter until 1600, although he had already been accepted as a master into the St. Luke's Guild in Antwerp in 1598.
Between 1600 and 1608, Rubens served as the court painter and diplomat for Vincenzo Gonzaga, the Duke of Mantua, but also undertook extensive travels to Rome, Genoa, and the Spanish court during these years. The inspiration from Italy resulted in a transformation of his painting style, leading him away from Mannerism and towards the Baroque style. In 1608, he returned to Antwerp and was appointed court painter to Archduke Albert a year later.
Rubens established his own workshop in Antwerp and married Isabella Brant. From 1622 onwards, he worked as a diplomat for the English, French, and Spanish courts, successfully negotiating peace between Spain and England. Following Isabella's death, he married Helene Fourment in 1630. Rubens passed away on May 30, 1640, in his Antwerp estate, Steen.
In addition to his numerous religious and mythological paintings, Rubens was also a sought-after portraitist of the European high nobility. He excelled at combining dramatic scenes, dynamic compositions, and vibrant colors in monumental formats—with an expressiveness typical of the Baroque. He became particularly famous for his depictions of female nudes, which impressed with fullness, sensuality, and vitality, and defined the concept of the "Rubenesque" female image.
Rubens was not only an exceptional artist but also an intellectual cosmopolitan with a comprehensive humanistic education. His multilingualism and diplomatic skills made him a central figure in the cultural and political life of Europe in his time. Through his workshop, where many significant artists were trained, and through the widespread dissemination of his motifs via print graphics, Rubens had an enormous influence on the development of European art—a legacy that continues to resonate today.
