Paul rubens art
Peter Paul Rubens was a Flemish born artist who, in the art world and even in this diplomatic reign, gained a reputation for himself. He was known for his baroque design and daring European painting, which he used to shape much of his paintings. He was also a master of religious figures, and diplomatic figures. He lived a brief life, but by the time of his death it had accumulated several accomplishments. As well as being one of the most talented artists in Europe, the work of which had been formerly performed by other artists, he was also knighted, employed to numerous commissions for diplomatic and church figures and still remains his reputation after his death.He was also a master artist and was employed for numerous assignments for diplomatic figures and parts of church in addition to being one of the most promising artists in Europe, whose work outperformed other artists at the time. The Baroque movement, which stresses movement, bold colour choices and sensuality in the works, was also known for Rubens.
The two most venerated artists of Nord Europe are Peter Paul Rubens and Rembrandt van Rijn, who both have a tremendous influence on their own art and on subsequent generation. Rubens was a humanist and academic classically skilled. The style of Rubens mixed Renaissance art experience and lush brushwork with a vivid realism. He also created several of his most important works and was a Baroque advocate and a well-known court painter who was connected to many diplomatic figures of that period. No artist of any age feels the physicality and sensuality of painting, who was not in one way or another influenced by Rubens.
Peter paul rubens famous paintings
One of the greatest names in Baroque art was the Flemish painter Peter Paul Rubens (1577-1640). A prolific artist with over 1,000 works was a master of drama and colour that was used to both establish contrast and balance and highlight passion, sensuality and suspense. Besides biblical and allegorical topics, Rubens occasionally painted landscapes, portraits and historic topics, for which he was perhaps better known.
Among his best works are:
Samson and Delilah
This masterpiece from the Rubens was painted for the influential judge, collector, and patron of Antwerp, Nicolaas Rockox in 1609-10. Obviously, the painting is influenced by Samson and Delilah’s Biblical tale. It portrays the time Delilah’s servant cut Samson’s hair while sleeping in the lap of his lover. The painting is also a mysterious old woman who might symbolise the soldiers outside of the room, as the Philistines. In 1980, the artwork was picked up for over $5,000,000 in the National Gallery (London).
Honeysuckle Bower
The Bower Honeysuckle is the artist and his first wife’s self portrait. The photo was drawn shortly after the marriage of a couple in 1609 and measures 178cm x 136,5cm (70 in x 54in), depicting the young wedding couple in a bower with suit.
The Descent from the Cross
The Descent from the Cross is the midst of The Elevation of the Cross, a three-type painted for their altar in the Cathedral of Our Lady in Anvers, by Rubens for the Arquebusier Confraternity. It is housed in the Antwerp Cathedral ever since but for a short back in the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
The Assumption of the Virgin Mary
This is another masterpiece from Rubens, something you will admire in Antwerp’s Cathedral of Our Lady. As the title says, the main topic is Virgin Mary’s ascension into the ciel. In the upper half of the painting, the Assumption is presented, while in the lower half the empty sepulchre of Mary, which is surrounded by twelve apostles and three women, represent Mary Magdalene and two of the Virgin.
Massacre of the Innocents (1611-12)
The Massacre of the innocents is the first of two Rubens’ works that were inspired by the same title of a Biblical history. They were rediscovered and sold at an auction in 2001 for $117 million a year later.
Joseph turner paintings
Turner may be the most beloved romantic English poet. Due to its growing interest in shiny colours and the principal component of his landscapes and seascapes, he was recognised as the ‘light painter.’ He deals with colours of water, oils and gravings.
Turner was born near London’s Covent Garden and in 1789 entered the schools of the Royal Academy. His oldest works belong to the topographical tradition of the 18th century. It quickly became influenced by Dutch artists like Willem van der Velde of the XVII century and Claude and Richard Wilson‘s Italian landscapes.
He showed aquarelles from 1790 and oils from 1796 in the Royal Academy. He met John Ruskin, a critical in 1840.
As can be seen from ‘The Fighting Temeraire’ and ‘Rain, Steam and Speed,’ Turner became interested in modern technology. When he had criticised his open, articulate handling of these subjects, he is now highly admired, however.
Turner legated the country a great deal in his service. Now Tate Britain is the big majority of the paintings.
