Great Artists - Peter Paul Rubens

submitted by mauz15

1 decade 5 years 11 months 4 weeks ago

Peter Paul Rubens was a prolific seventeenth-century Flemish Baroque painter, the most renowned and sought after northern European artist of his day, and is now widely recognized as one of the foremost painters in Western art history. A proponent of an exuberant Baroque style that emphasized movement, color, and sensuality. He is well-known for his Counter-Reformation altarpieces, portraits, landscapes, and history paintings of mythological and allegorical subjects.

In addition to running a large studio in Antwerp which produced paintings popular with nobility and art collectors throughout Europe, Rubens was a classically-educated humanist scholar, art collector, and diplomat who was knighted by both Philip IV, king of Spain, and Charles I, king of England.

Oh man great series, keep 'em coming!

Note: I've replaced the video for one with better quality but (sometimes) slower loading speeds.
I recommend you let it buffer for a few minutes before playing it.

Here is an alternative link that loads much faster but the quality is compromised:

Moving this video to mauz15's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.
