L. Bensusan is a comprehensive biography written in the early 20th century. This work delves into the life, career, and artistic achievements of the renowned Baroque painter Peter Paul Rubens, showcasing his profound influence on European art during the 17th century. The book is not only an exploration of Rubens’ artistry but also examines his multifaceted life as a diplomat and statesman. The text provides an insightful overview of Rubens' journey from his childhood in Siegen, Germany, to his glorious career in Antwerp and beyond. It explores pivotal moments in his life, including his artistic formation in Italy and his return to establish a commanding presence in the art world. Bensusan analyzes various phases of Rubens' work, categorizing them into periods that illustrate his evolution from a painter influenced by the high Renaissance to a master of dynamic color and composition. Key highlights include discussions of his notable artworks, his role in court politics, and his personal relationships, notably with his two wives. Ultimately, Bensusan presents Rubens as a figure of enduring artistic relevance whose contributions to portraiture, religious, and mythological themes reflect the complexities of his time.
