Rubens: The Education of Marie. One of the twenty-one pictures celebrating episodes from the life of Marie de Medici, the Influential widow of France’s Henri IV, Ruben’s painting is imbued with sensuous vitality. The three muses inspiring the studious young Marie dominate the canvas. (Louvere/Giraudon/Art Source)

In painting, the baroque reached maturity early with Peter Paul Ruben (1577-1640) the most outstanding and representative of baroque painters. Studying in his native Flanders and in Italy, where he was influenced by masters of the High Renaissance such as Michelangelo, Rubens developed his own rich sensuous, colourful style, which was characterised by animated figures, melodramatic contrasts, and monumental size. Although Ruben excelled in glorifying monarchs such as Queen Mother Marie de Medici of France, he was was also a devout Catholic. . . . .
‘
Ru;bens was enormously successful. To meet the demand for his work, he established a large studio and hired many assistants to execute his rough sketches and gigantic murals. Sometimes the master artist added only the finishing touches. Rubens’s wealth and position – on occasion he was given special diplomatic assignments by the Habsburgs – attest that distinguished artists continued to enjoy the high social status they had won in the Renaissance. ~ Page 562
