Biography: Peter Paul Rubens was born in 1577 in Siegen, Westphalia, in what is now present day Germany. His father was a Calvinist and his mother a Catholic - they had Antwerp in the Spanish Netherlands (now Belgium) in 1568 to escape religious persecution. After his father died when he was 12, he and his mother moved back to Antwerp in Belgium, where he was raised as a Catholic.
Starting at the age of 14, Rubens apprenticed in the studios of Adam van Noort and Otto van Veen (1556-1629). After setting up his own studio, he traveled widely in Italy studying the paintings of the masters of the Italian Renaissance. One of his most important students was Anthony Van Dyke (1599-1641). Later artists who were influenced by Rubens include Eugene Delacroix and Pierre-Auguste Renoir. Stylistically, Rubens is considered to be one of the principal members of the Baroque Art movement. He died in 1640 from gout at the age of 62. Click any thumbnail to view a larger version or make a purchase.
