Frankfurt's Städel Museum holds 5 works by Peter Paul Rubens (1577–1640) — the city's entire known holding of this artist in a single institution.
Rubens painted on a grand scale — large altarpieces, mythological cycles — and his work assumes a physical relationship with the viewer. In person, the energy of his compositions is overwhelming: figures heave and turn, colours glow, the paint surface is fluid and alive.

A combined ticket is good value if visiting multiple Museumsufer institutions. The S-Bahn station Museumsufer is the closest stop.
