Rubens and His Legacy
Nico Van Hout, curator at the Royal Museum of Fine Arts Antwerp, explores the thread of Rubens’s influence through art history.
In this lecture, Nico Van Hout explains why the caricature of Peter Paul Rubens as a painter of "fleshy, voluptuous women" is only part of the story, focusing in particular on Rubens’s influence on Rembrandt and Jean-Antoine Watteau.
