Peter Paul Rubens was one of the most learned, inventive, and prolific artists of the baroque period in northern Europe. His work encompassed portraiture, allegory, religious painting, landscapes, and designs for ornament, tapestry, books, and prints. He also worked as a diplomat, was knighted in two countries, and was acquainted with most of the crowned heads of Europe--many of whom were his patrons.

He traveled extensively and frequently, visiting Spain, France, Britain, the northern Netherlands, and Italy. Already in the early seventeenth century Italy was the prime destination of ambitious young artists, and it was there that Rubens spent some of his formative years between 1600 and 1608. The country was a museum indoors, outdoors, and underground. Classical antiquity was as much in evidence as the wonders of Renaissance painting and architecture.
