The opening of the book sets the stage for Rubens' story by providing a historical context of his birth and early life, emphasizing the debate between Cologne and Antwerp over his birthplace. It introduces his family background, highlighting the scholarly pursuits of his father, Johannes Rubens, and the challenges the family faced during the political upheavals of the time. The text hints at personal struggles, such as Johannes's romantic entanglement that led to his imprisonment and subsequent release through the resilience and compassion of Rubens' mother, Maria Pypelinckx. This early narrative not only establishes the familial environment that influenced the artist but also foreshadows the emotional depth and resilience that would later characterize Rubens' own life and works.
