Peter Paul Rubens: His Life and Genius is a biographical account of the life and works of the famous Flemish Baroque artist Peter Paul Rubens, written by Gustav Friedrich Waagen and first published in 1840. The book provides a comprehensive overview of Rubens' life, including his upbringing, education, and artistic training, as well as his personal and professional relationships with other artists, patrons, and political figures of his time.The book also delves into Rubens' artistic style and technique, exploring his use of color, composition, and subject matter. Waagen provides detailed analyses of many of Rubens' most famous works, including his religious and mythological paintings, portraits, and landscapes. He also discusses the influence of Rubens' work on later artists and art movements.Throughout the book, Waagen draws on a wide range of primary sources, including letters and diaries written by Rubens and his contemporaries, as well as historical documents and art criticism from the period. The result is a rich and engaging portrait of one of the most important artists of the Baroque era, as well as a fascinating glimpse into the cultural and political context in which he lived and worked.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
