1 work across 1 institution

Sydney's Art Gallery of New South Wales holds 1 work 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.

Planning your visit to Sydney

The Art Gallery of NSW is a short walk from the CBD or reachable by bus, and entry to the permanent collection is free. The Museum of Contemporary Art Australia is on Circular Quay, opposite the ferry terminals — easily combined with a harbour visit. Major temporary exhibitions charge separately at both venues.
