Excerpt: The Marie de' Medici Cycle is a series of twenty-one paintings by Peter Paul Rubens commissioned by Marie de' Medici, wife of Henry IV of France, for the Luxembourg Palace in Paris. Rubens received the commission in the autumn of 1621. After negotiating the terms of the contract in early 1622, the project was to be completed within two years, coinciding with the marriage of Marie's daughter, Henrietta Maria. Twenty-one of the paintings depict Marie's own struggles and triumphs in life. The remaining three are portraits of herself and her parents. The paintings now hang in the Louvre in Paris. Much speculation exists on the exact circumstances under which Marie de' Medici decided to commission Rubens to paint "such a grandiose project, conceived in truly heroic proportions." John Coolidge suggests the cycle may have even been commissioned to rival another famous series of Rubens, The Constantine Tapestries, which he designed in his studio at the same time as the first several paintings of the Medici Cycle. It has also been suggested that Rubens prepared a number of oil sketches, by the request of Louis XIII, the son of Marie de' Medici and successor to the throne, which may have influenced the Queen's decision to commission Rubens for the cycle by the end of the...

Book excerpt: No previous study of Rubens' pictorial biography of Maria de' Medici, Dowager Queen of France, has analyzed in such detail each of the twenty-four paintings with regard to iconography, the painter's source material, and his pictorial treatment. Not only is each episode seen here within its historical context, using documents from both Italian and French sources of the time, many never before adduced in connection with the paintings, but for the first time an iconographical element is studied which heretofore has been glimpsed only in passing: the symbolical and allegorical emblems connected with coins, medals, broadsheets, public ceremonies, and political propaganda. Rubens, this book argues, incorporated those cryptic images into his compositions with full awareness of their political and personal implications and did so, it seems, at the insistence of the patroness and her advisers. These and other "mystic figures" offer a hitherto unsuspected key to the cycle's "secret" meanings. The theme now appears to be not reconciliation, as usually stated, but a vindication of the former Florentine princess's policies as queen, regent, and dowager. With this goes an accusation of filial ingratitude and political ineptness directed against King Louis XIII, and there is an implicit--painted--threat to reopen armed hostilities should the uneasy truce between mother and son ever be broken. Reason enough then, to dissemble, conceal, or explain away the true meaning of the cycle when the paintings were new.

Book excerpt: Lived experience is a critical ingredient in the creation of artistic production. Without it, art would indeed be dull and would lack the ability to connect with the viewer, due to the unrealistic presentation of the scene. This paper looks at the acclaimed Life Cycle of Marie de' Medici by Peter Paul Rubens and applies an autobiographical approach in reading the paintings. Rubens' life experiences, including an undeniably substantial influence from his mother and her life, are predominantly present in this series. In making this twenty-four-image cycle, Rubens was intuitively aware that the reaction provoked by these paintings would influence the view of the French people about the Queen Mother, Marie de' Medici. Based upon an in depth analysis between the paintings and biography, it is astonishing how closely linked the Life Cycle of Marie de' Medici is with the life of Rubens and his mother, Maria. This thesis concentrates on the close connection between the artist and his own mother, which is translated into the inspiration behind this series of paintings. While there does appear to be some correlations between certain specific events in the life of Marie de' Medici and Rubens' mother, the focus for this thesis has been looking at Rubens' mother as the inspirational spirit behind the depictions in this cycle and how this influence contributes to the overall theme of triumph over adversity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The six glorious scenes that make up the Triumph of the Eucharist series by Peter Paul Rubens (1577–1640) are highlights of the Museo Nacional del Prado’s superb collection of Flemish paintings. Completed in 1626, these brilliantly detailed sketches were painted at the behest of the Infanta Isabel Clara Eugenia in preparation for a series of monumental tapestries that are now considered among the finest made in Europe in the seventeenth century. Unfortunately, additions to the wooden supports, introduced after the paintings were created, made the panels considerably larger than Rubens intended and over time caused serious damage to the original sections. With the aid of the Getty Foundation’s Panel Paintings Initiative, the panels have been restored and returned to their original dimensions by the Prado, and the magnificent oil sketches can once again be placed on public view. This lushly illustrated and illuminating volume provides new insight into the history of the Eucharist series of paintings and tapestries and attests to Rubens’s exhilarating art. Spectacular Rubens is published on the occasion of an exhibition of the paintings, on view at the Museo Nacional del Prado from March 25 through June 29, 2014, and at the J. Paul Getty Museum from October 14, 2014, through January 4, 2015.

Book excerpt: The first study devoted to classical art’s vital creative impact on the work of the Flemish painter Peter Paul Rubens. For the great Peter Paul Rubens (1577–1640), the classical past afforded lifelong creative stimulus and the camaraderie of humanist friends. A formidable scholar, Rubens ingeniously transmitted the physical ideals of ancient sculptors, visualized the spectacle of imperial occasions, rendered the intricacies of mythological tales, and delineated the character of gods and heroes in his drawings, paintings, and designs for tapestries. His passion for antiquity profoundly informed every aspect of his art and life. Including 170 color illustrations, this volume addresses the creative impact of Rubens’s remarkable knowledge of the art and literature of antiquity through the consideration of key themes. The book’s lively interpretive essays explore the formal and thematic relationships between ancient sources and Baroque expressions: the significance of neo-Stoic philosophy, the compositional and iconographic inspiration provided by exquisite carved gems, Rubens’s study of Roman marble sculpture, and his inventive translation of ancient sources into new subjects made vivid by his dynamic painting style. This volume is published to accompany an exhibition on view at the J. Paul Getty Museum at the Getty Villa from November 10, 2021, to January 24, 2022.

Book excerpt: Arguably the greatest artist of the Baroque period, Peter Paul Rubens was an accomplished painter and draftsman, as well as a valued diplomat.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The question of whether seventeenth-century painters such as Rembrandt and Rubens were exclusively responsible for the paintings later sold under their names has caused many a heated debate. Despite the rise of scholarship on the history of the art market, much is still unknown about the ways in which paintings were produced, assessed, priced, and marketed during this period, which leads to several provocative questions: did contemporary connoisseurs expect masters such as Rembrandt to paint works entirely by their own hand? Who was credited with the ability to assess paintings as genuine? The contributors to this engaging collection—Eric Jan Sluijter, Hans Van Miegroet, and Neil De Marchi, among them—trace these issues through the booming art market of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, arriving at fascinating and occasionally unexpected conclusions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rubens is undoubtedly the most influential Flemish painter. Through reproductions in print, his compositions had an immense impact, even during his lifetime. Himself indebted to Titian, Rubens became a role model to Van Dyck, Rembrandt and Velázquez, and influenced artists well beyond his time, including figures such as Cézanne, Picasso, Bacon and Freud. This stunning new volume explores Rubens's legacy thematically, through a series of sections devoted to Violence, Power, Lust, Compassion, Elegance and Poetry. Illustrating some of the artists' most famous paintings alongside great works that bear his influence, each section will link artists across the centuries in their references to Rubens, from Van Dyck and Watteau to Manet, Daumier, Renoir and Van Gogh, as well as Gainsborough, Constable and Turner.
