Rubens and His Legacy
Independent art historian and curator MaryAnne Stevens explores the impact of Rubens on the Impressionists.
Rubens, with his "audacious and fantastic palette", provided an important model for the revolutions in mid-19th century French art. In this lecture, independent art historian and curator MaryAnne Stevens explores the impact of the great Flemish master’s colour and technique on Manet, and Impressionists such as Monet, Renoir and Cézanne.
