93 works across 7 institutions
London holds 93 works by Peter Paul Rubens across 7 institutions, including National Gallery, Wallace Collection, and 5 other venues.
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.
