Description
Peter Paul Rubens: A Study of Women is a groundbreaking publication that challenges the conventional understanding of the artist's female subjects. For the first time, this book brings together a diverse range of paintings and drawings from throughout Rubens' career, showcasing his nuanced and complex depictions of women. Rubens' works feature proud and powerful female figures, full of character and gravitas, rather than mere bodies trapped by the male gaze. This publication provides a catalogue for these remarkable images, accompanied by three introductory essays that contextualize Rubens' work within current debates around sexuality, power, and feminism. By shedding new light on Rubens' treatment of the human body and his sitters, this book contributes to existing scholarly literature while introducing his masterpieces to new audiences.
