I write short stories and articles about the paintings.
Peter Paul Rubens (1577 - 1640), a Flemish baroque painter, had made Antwerp his home after he lost his father at the age of ten. His paintings had an aroma of counter revolutionary spirit, perhaps. As an advocate of an extravagant Baroque, Rubens had emphasized movement, color, and sensuality in his paintings. His subjects varied from historical paintings to the depiction of mythological stories.
His visit to Rome and Italy made Rubens acquainted with the work of the master artists like Titian, and Raphael. He had occasions to meet and admire the work of the group of contemporary Italian artists where he met the master artist Caravaggio.
Rubens has tried copying some of the paintings by Titian. The painting titled as ‘Venus at Mirror’ must be one of his try in that direction. In this painting the Venus is shown as looking into glass, making the viewers seeing the face of the model, too. Rubens females painted in their natural beauty were dynamic and looking lively. His female beauties were less rigid in appearance. Unlike his contemporaries or the artists who painted such cloth-less females before, Rubens painted females with more sensual brush strokes.
To describe the paintings done by Rubens, a special word was devised: 'Rubenesque'. This word symbolized the paintings woman with heavy waist and ample bodied. Rubens would paint woman in her natural beauty with voluptuousness and putting dimples on her flesh.
After death of her first wife when Rubens was 53, he married Helen. At that time Helen was of sixteen years; and Ruben had made memorable paintings depicting her beauty. We can see the charming beauty of Helen in the paintings titled The Garden of Love, The Three Graces and The Judgment of Paris.
