Peter Paul Rubens

1577 – 1640

Peter Paul Rubens

1. He is considered the most influential artist of Flemish Baroque tradition.

2.His nudes of various biblical and mythological women are especially well-known.

3.Rubens was quite fond of painting full-figured women, giving rise to terms like 'Rubensian' or 'Rubenesque' (sometimes 'Rubensesque'). (His paintings were created for a largely male audience.)

4.Unlike his female nudes, most of his male nudes are depicted partially nude, with sashes, armour, or shadows shielding them from being completely unclothed.
