Sinossi
Excerpt from Rubens
The awakening was terrible for these merchants and peaceful Citizens, lulled into security by well being. They were suddenly forced into familiarity with horrible fear, dread Of massacre, pillage and ruin, and in this people, plunged against their will into a life and death struggle, fierce feeling was temporarily aroused and the peaceful equilibrium Of moral qualities was destroyed. It was the sons Of the men who suffered this anguish and disaster who applauded Rubens and his school. They found their own emotions in an art where robust and tranquil health was rent by sudden passion and brutality; they recognised the athletic executioners, the shrieking martyrs, and the suffering, fainting.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the life, influences, and artistic development of the great Flemish Baroque painter, Peter Paul Rubens. Born amid the chaos of 16th-century Flanders, Rubens' early life was influenced by war and disaster, which would later infuse his art with emotion and vibrancy. The author traces Rubens' pivotal journey to Italy, where he encountered the masterpieces of the Renaissance, particularly those of Titian and Michelangelo. Rubens' unique style emerged from this synthesis of Italian grandeur and Flemish realism. The book delves into his exploration of religious, mythological, and historical themes, revealing his ability to transform biblical narratives into vibrant, dynamic scenes and to capture the sensuality and beauty of the human form. Through an analysis of Rubens' major works, the author illuminates his mastery of color, composition, and movement, showcasing his profound understanding of human emotion. The book underscores Rubens' significance as a pivotal figure in the development of Western art, bridging the gap between the Renaissance and the Baroque, and leaving an indelible mark on the artistic landscape of Europe.
