Adoration of the Magi, 1617

Peter Paul Rubens (1577-1640) was born in Westphalia of an Antwerp family. After training in various studios, he travelled to Italy in 1600, where he was Court Painter to the Duke of Mantua and able to study the work of artists of the High Renaissance. In 1608 he returned to Antwerp and became Court Painter to the Spanish Governors of the Netherlands. One of the greatest of Baroque painters, he is best known for his swirling compositions, rich glowing colours and voluptuous figures. He painted scenes from history and mythology, religious subjects, landscapes, and portraits which were often grand and imposing but also include tenderly intimate pictures of his family. He was also an accomplished linguist and diplomat, whose skillful conduct of negotiations between England and Spain won him an English knighthood in 1629.
