Rubens and the Flemish Baroque Artists

×

Expand

Rubens was the driving creative force that conquered 17th century Europe. His impassioned compositions, with an almost violent dynamism, and the sensuality conveyed by his work defined baroque painting. The nearly sixty pieces in this exhibition, including The Birth of Apollo and Diana, The Death of Seneca and The Immaculate Conception, come from the Museo Nacional del Prado. The collection reveals the intellectual charge and distinctive style of Rubens and his Flemish contemporaries, and is divided into seven areas: divine passions, image and counter-reformation, the rapturous creation, patronage and collecting, art and propaganda, faces and personalities and, finally, still life and nature scenes.
