Peter Paul Rubens

Peter Paul Rubens is known as one of the great artists of the Baroque period. Notorious for his paintings of religious scenes, mythology, and portraits, his style is easily recognizable through his portrayal of large, pale, nude women (Johnson 144, 145).

Peter Paul Rubens (1577-1640) painted The Raising of the Cross in 1609-1610, when he was about the age of the martyred Christ. Until 1794, this colossal work (central panel: 460 x 340 cm, side panels: 460 x 150 cm) was part of the high altar of the St. Walburgis Church, which was later demolished.

I also see this work in particular as a very obvious embodiment of emotional realist art, though with its own original and unique interpretation of the art style. It is apparent that the Carracci brothers’ Ceiling of Gallery inspired Rubens’ work. From studying their work, Rubens learned anatomical

I got to see many paintings from different eras. The area that interested me the most was the Baroque style. Specifically, the painting called “The Sacrifice of Isaac” by Peter Paul Rubens which stands around 55 ½ x 43 ½ inches (Zarling, 2014). It is an oil painting on wood panel was made in 1612-1613 Baroque period (“Peter Paul”, n.d.).

Goliath” by Peter Paul Rubens is an example of Renaissance art. This painting depicts a well-known Bible story of a young Israelite boy named David who kills the giant, Goliath, with a slingshot, and chops off his head with a sword.

The art piece that I selected for my analysis is called The Triumph of Divine Love by Peter Paul Rubens. The artwork is an oil painting on canvas, circa 1625. This piece of art was commission by Isabella Clara Eugenia, Infanta of Spain and Portugal. The Triumph of Divine Love was one of eleven art pieces in a series portraying the Eucharist cycle, an important issue in the Catholic-Protestant strife.
