Sir Peter Paul Rubens (1577 – 1640) was a prolific seventeenth-century Flemish Baroque painter, and a proponent of an extravagant Baroque style that emphasized movement, color, and sensuality. He is well-known for his Counter-Reformation altarpieces, portraits, landscapes, and history paintings of mythological and allegorical subjects.
In addition to running a large studio in Antwerp that produced paintings popular with nobility and art collectors throughout Europe, Rubens was a classically educated humanist scholar, art collector, and diplomat who was knighted by both Philip IV, King of Spain, and Charles I, King of England.

Rubens’ commissioned works were mostly religious subjects, “history” paintings, which included mythological subjects, and hunt scenes. He painted portraits, especially of friends, and self-portraits, and in later life painted several landscapes. Rubens designed tapestries and prints, as well as his own house. His drawings are mostly extremely forceful but not detailed, and he also made great use of oil sketches as preparatory studies.

    Rubens is the app for you if you’re a Peter Paul Rubens fan. Over 100 sketches are available through the app, varying from portraits to allegorical images to landscapes, all viewable on the go. Many of the images are not available anywhere else on the internet, and therefore provide access to work that you may not have viewed before. Definitely worth the $.99!

    I simply LOVE this app! It’s one of of a kind, through which you can gain access to beautiful art by the great Peter Paul Rubens himself! The price of $.99 is nothing compared to the access and offering of the app: the collection of drawings, the access and detail/attention in the work is both pleasing to the eye and incredibly inspiring to all types of artists. Well worth the small price!
