Short biography of the artist
Peter Paul Rubens was born on 28 chervnya 1577 in Zigen (Nimechchyna), at the home of a famous family of tradesmen and merchants. If the future artist was 8 years old, Rubens’s family moved to Cologne (Nimechchina), de junak learned the humanities first in the science school, and then at the wealthy world, having learned the Greek language and showing the strength of the phenomenal memory. At 13 rokiv, zavdyaki sіmeynym zv'yazkam, Peter Paul buv lushtovaniya on planting a page to the Belgian Countess de Lalen. Ale buti, the courtier, the young man did not want to, and already for the river, having begun to study painting. Yogo's first mentor was the artist Otto van Vejn.
On the cob of the 1600s, the artist-pochatkіvets zdіysniv more expensive in Italy and Spain, de even strongly inspired by the school of the old masters. Paintings by Rubens with the titles "Self-portrait with friends of Verona", "Position at the throne", "Hercules and Omphala", "Heraclitus and Democrite" were written by itself in this period. Їm bulo vikonano impersonal copies of view of paintings Italian and Spanish artists, for example Raphael and Titian.
As soon as it was more expensive, like three years ago, Peter Paul Rubens arrived to the Belgian city of Antwerp, and already in 1610, near Brussels, having taken the title of court painter from the Duke of Albrecht. The impersonal paintings of Rubens with names to avenge the names of the duke himself and that yogo squad of Izabella Clari Eugenia appeared in that period, the shards of the ruling couple did not want to part with the artist - their spitting inwardly smothered the creative success and recognition of Rubens. Ale wine did not want to stay in Brussels, turning to Antwerp and making friends with Isabella Brant, as she became her beloved model and mother of three children. In 1611, the artist added for himself that same majestic house-maister, and from that moment he began to develop a particularly fertile period of his creativity. Nothing has suffocated the artist - the vine of the security is penniless and an hour, and also having taken off enough skills for free creativity.
For the whole hour of artistic work, Peter Paul Rubens, having written over 3,000 paintings, a lot of them were injected into the work of the coming generations of artists. Vіn not being an innovator, but cultivating the classic Flemish style to the level of brilliance and beauty.
In the 20th century of the 17th century, Rubens mastered a diplomatic career. What was the reason for the work at the court?
In 1626, the 34th squad of Rubens died in the fate of the plague. After this shocking wine for a certain hour, having flooded the painting and plunged into political and diplomatic activity. Now the mission has expanded to Denmark and Spain, but the complicated political situation and the Medici call out hostility to Rubens from the side of other diplomats, once the stench directly stated that "they will not require artists." Vіn sche namagavsya zavyazat političnі zv'yazki, but zalishiv tsyu sphere in 1635 roci.
Ale, in the very beginning of diplomatic activity, in the 1630s, the artist again seriously took up his brushes and became friends again - the image of the 53-river Rubens was the 16-river donka Olena Fourman. From that moment on, she became the main model and inspiration of the artist, having painted impersonal portraits of her, as well as a vicarist for depicting mythical and biblical heroines. Olena gave birth to Rubens five children, while he lived with her only ten years. The artist died of gout on May 30, 1640.
self-portraits
Portraits of Peter Paul Rubens, who painted himself, revisit a handful of self-portraits of any artist before. That second match with him at the other moment was Rembrandt. Rubens is fond of classical self-portraits, and endowing with powerful guises as the hero of a plot picture. The first similar work was "Self-portrait with a number of Verona friends", written in 1606 in Italy. Cicavo, that on the canvas of the author's guise one can see the guise of his friends - vin nibi illuminating with an invisible dzherel and united to marvel right at the beholder.
And the most famous self-portrait can be considered writings in 1623 - practically every biography of Rubens can not do without this picture, a reproduction of which is presented above. Another famous portrait is "Chotiri Philosophy" of 1611, about the new report will be told later. The remaining self-portrait of the artist was a painting written a day before his death, 1639. Її fragment of representations near the subtitle " short biography artist". And the axis is still a few paintings, some figures have a portrait of the author:
- "Self-portrait" (1618).
- "Self-portrait with son Albert" (1620s).
- "Self-portrait" (1628).
- "Kohanna Garden" (1630).
- "Self-portrait with Olena Fourman" (1631).
- "Rubens, yogo team of Olena Fourman and їhnіy son" (late 1630s).
"Last Judgment"
Under the name "Last Judgment" Rubens has two paintings, and insults are rebuying at the Munich gallery "Old Pinakothek". The first of them, a fragment of a higher representation, was written in 1617 roci. Vaughn is painted in oil on a wooden panel with a size of 606 by 460 cm, to that friend the picture, which is sized 183 by 119 cm, is often called "Little Doomsday". Most of the canvas is occupied by simple deaths, literally scattered across the sides by the power of Christ, who came before them. The deyak of them are dressed, the deyak are naked, scarlet on all their guises zhah and rozpach, and whoever is called to take away demonic іstoti. God is looking at Jesus Christ at the very top of the picture in the center, it’s bright to come out, replace the clothes - a bright-red linen, and behind Yogo’s backs - some saints, some died, they already drank to paradise. From the side of the view of Jesus, the Virgin Mary and Moses are seen with holy tablets in their hands.
On the other picture, like Rubens, having painted in 1620, one can add either a continuation or a variation of the first canvas. Irrespective of the smaller world, the canvas is twisted, God is again at the very top, but now the image has appeared and baked. Sinners huddle at the river, de їх zstrіchayut radіsnі devils, and angels with trumpets do not allow people to climb up the hill, harrowing them with shields.
Vintage triptychs
For Rubens, painting robots became one of the main types of artistic activity in the period from 1610 to 1620. The stench is called the one that the artist painted them mainly to decorate the church, and the deacons took off right in the church, in order to catch the fall of light correctly in that place, where the canvas will be known. Over the course of an hour, Rubens created seven paintings with roses, five - demonstrating the moment of the rise of the cross and three of the three exaltations, as well as a lot of other images of Christ, the saints biblical stories. And among them there are triptychs that are found in the Cathedral of Our Lady of Antwerp. The triptych "The Exaltation of the Cross of the Lord", a fragment of which can be seen on the head photo of the article, the artist created in 1610 a roci for the vvtar of the old church of St. Wolburg, and on his own day the paintings were consumed in 1816 roci. The triptych "Znyatya z khresta" (you can make it bigger) was already created for the Cathedral, with whom you are changing today, from 1612 to 1614 rіk. Bagato who names this monumental canvas by himself the best creation Rubens, as well as one of the best paintings of the Baroque era.
"Union of earth and water"
Rubens' painting "Union of Earth and Water", written in 1618, is in the Sovereign Hermitage (St. Petersburg). The canvas, which depicts the goddess of the Earth Cybele, the sea gods of Neptune and Triton, and also the goddess Victoria, is very sensitive. Neptune and Cybele are laying down the union, lowering their hands and marveling one on one, they are victorious, and the son of Neptune Triton, having risen from the deep sea, blows at the shell. In front of the plot, the divine connection between the feminine and the human began, the artist’s shards of a completely naked woman were a symbol of the earthly, native, natural. Ale is especially for Rubens "Union of the Earth and Water" which was a strain on the twisted camp of the Flemings, who allowed access to the sea during the period of the Dutch blockade. For the simplest clouds, you can respect the mythological combination of the two elements, which leads to the harmony of the light. Oskіlki canvas, rebuying in the Hermitage, was respected by the baths, in 1977 in the USSR a postage stamp was issued with this picture.
"Three Graces"
Another one of the most important paintings of the artist was written in the last century of his life - 1639. The canvas with the embossed name "Three Graces" is being collected in the Spanish Prado Museum. In his beloved manner of the artist, three naked women are depicted in the like heavenly bushes, which emphasize the ancient Roman graces - the goddesses of merriment and joy. AT Ancient Greece These goddesses were called Charites. The stench smoothly circles around the dance, embracing and marveling one on one, maybe, at the reception of the conversation. Regardless of the same position, the images of those by Rubens always included exclusively smooth, rounded lines without an iron kut, vins made a difference between women in color hair. A bright blonde stands at a bright part of the landscape against the sky, a brown-haired woman, on the other hand, is depicted against a background of trees, and between them, on the border of the light, that temryavi, the ruddy-haired goddess harmoniously fit.
"Two satires"
Painting by Rubens "Two satyrs" continues the theme mythological facts. Vaughn bula was written in 1619 and in Denmark is also known in the Munich "Old Pinakotets". On the top of the large monumental robots of the artist, the canvas may be of a small size - total 76 x 66 cm. Apparently, the satyrs didn’t linger only two speeches - let them go with the nymphs and drink wine. Rubens, having depicted two types of satires - the one that is in the background, obviously more than alcohol. Yogo withered guise and surpluses that flow along the charter, tell about it. In the foreground, there is clearly an image of a htivi glance - a htivi glance and a smile literally pierce the ogre, and lowerly squeeze in the yogo hand of the grono grapes znіyakovіti navit the found ogre.
"Perseus summons Andromeda"
You can see more fragments of three paintings. Lambert Sustris' first lie down penzle - "Perseus forges Andromeda". Vaughn bula was written in the middle of the 16th century. The robot itself suffocated Rubens on the creation of his first canvas with the same name in 1620. Having changed a little bit the flat middle-aged manner of Sustris, the artist practically literally reproduced the characters' poses and the wild mythological plot (another fragment). This picture is taken from the Art Gallery of Berlin.
Two years later, Rubens returned to the story about Perseus and Andromeda and painted another picture with the same name (third fragment). Regardless of the small price, there is already a big world open characteristic style of the artist - the goddess of victory, Nika, resurrects the heads of the characters, and dovkola flutters little amuri. Regardless of those that Perseus is a long-time Greek hero, the clothes of a Roman warrior are worn out. Like "Union of Earth and Water", this picture belongs to the collections of the Sovereign Hermitage.
"Venus in front of the mirror"
In his painting of 1615 "Venus in front of a mirror" Rubens repeats the story with a singing world, the creations earlier by Titian, in which Venus looks naked at the mirror, as if dorimuetsya cupid. Prote's presence entrusted from Venus Rubens chornoshkir servant allows you to think that Venus is not a goddess, but an earthly woman, slender to the point of divine narcissism. Behind his voice, the artist again depicted a woman without clothes, painted with gold embellishments, and thin, navigating through the canvas of a white woman. The servant chi then understands, chi simply sorts out the beautiful gold hair of her lady. At this hour, the canvas is taken from the Vidensk Museum of the Liechtenstein Collection.
"Chotiri philosopher"
At the painting of 1611 "Chotiri Philosophy" by Rubens, we crim ourselves, depicting our beloved brother Philip, the great philosopher Justus Lipsii and yogi Jan Voverii. Likewise, having consumed the Pug, the love dog Lipsiya, on the canvas, having shaved his head on the knees of Voveriya. There is no special story plot in the picture: like "Self-portrait with Veronian friends", writings from the drive of death Lipsiya in 1606, the picture is dedicated to the close people of Rubens that hour, which vіn managed to carry out an order from them. You can see the canvas at the Florentine Palazzo Pitti.
"Polyuvannya on leviv"
From 1610 to 1620, the artist used to describe the descriptions of myslivsky plots. Having reached the majestic mastery of the image human body, if you want to eat yoga with only a mastered demonstration of the bodies of great creatures. One of the most famous canvases on this topic by Rubens is "Polyuvannya on leviv", written in 1621. The resistance of the human forces of wild creatures is clearly shown in the courageous resistance of two muscular lions to seven minds, half of which attack the tops on horseback. One of the lions is ready to tear apart the thought that has been fallen down to the ground with a dagger, the other one has pulled the thought from the horse with his teeth, clawing his claws into the body of the creature. Ignorant of those who shogo lion stabbed in the morning with three write-offs, in separations and do not enter, and only the sword of one of the myslivtsiv gives hope to overcome the roiled beast. One of myslivtsiv lie unobtrusive and squeezed by the hand with a knife. Particularly noteworthy in this picture is the fact of the sleeping of similar and European characters - it is clear that they are dressed up. At this time, the picture is taken to the Munich "Old Pinakotets".
Kohanih portraits
To finish the great collections put together paintings by Rubens with names to avenge the first squad of Izabella Brant. As a rule, these are special portraits, or collective self-portraits are friends. For more reproductions, you can check out:

The rest of the painting is considered one of the best in the portrait painting of the artist. Win and yogo the young squad is depicted in a name-like manner, nibi in the photograph - it is important to believe that the heroes are not depicted in a mitt. One of the most beautiful details of this canvas can be called the hands of the cohans and their lower dotik, which conveys love and mutuality more quickly, the lower yakby heroes simply marveled one on one. At this hour, the canvas is also taken to the Munich "Old Pinakotets".
Portraits of Reindeer Fourman, as you can better, became the main subject of Rubens' painting. stay rocky yoga of life. Presented fragments of the coming canvases:

But the most famous portrait of Deer Fourman is a brush and a man respected writings in 1630, a reproduction of which is presented above. In the new 16-river, the young squad is depicted with a wonderful viscous lace, a beautiful oxamite drop in the Dutch style, and two lower trojans pressed down to the stomach. It is important that in this period the friend’s squad of Rubens was already vaccinated, and the very same isolate the wounds near the stomach. The canvas is in the Gaazkiy Royal Art Gallery Mauritshuis.
Then the creativity of Rubens showed up drawings of all these styles: realistic images of action, powerful Venetian schools; baroque sensibility; richness of farb and gestures, power of mannerism.
Without uniquing Rubens with mythological and religious themes, he often turned to portraits and landscapes - in a word, he was a universal artist in his own time.
From the early biography of Rubens
Peter Paul Rubens born 1577 p. at Zіgenі (Nіmechchina) with their lawyer Jan Rubens. At this city, the father sent a message for a call from the retinue of the Prince of Orange, Hannah of Saxony.
The childhood of the future artist took place at Zigen, then at Cologne, and only after his death, the father of the same family turned to the fatherland - to Antwerp (Flemish region of Belgium).

House of Rubens in Antwerp
In the works of Rubens during this period, in addition to paintings with episodes of biblical history, plots from ancient mythology began to appear more often (“The Battle of the Greeks with the Amazons”, “The Last Day of the Daughters of Leucippus”).
P. Rubens "The Last Daughters of Leucippe" (1618)
In this picture, Rubens distilled the myth about the brothers Dioskuriv (the blue of Zeus and the Lady). They robbed the daughter of King Leukippus - Gilaira and Phoebe. For whom the whole plot Rubens showed his ability as an artist in the depicted plastics of human bodies.
With strong hands, the youths spit naked women, so that they could be put on horses. The light bodies of naked golden-haired women are meisterly set out from the dark-haired figures of dark-haired men. All the figures are intertwined and make up the composition of the ring.

Rubens (Rubens) Peter Powell (1577-1640), Flemish painter.
Born on 28 chervnia 1577. at Zіgenі (Nіmechchina) lawyer - an immigrant from Flanders. In 1579 p. my family moved to Cologne; there passed Rubens.
After the father, 1587 mother and children moved to Antwerp. Rubens started at the school of Rombut Verdonk, then he was promoted to page to Countess Marguerite de Ligne. One hour Peter Powell took painting lessons from the artists Tobias Verhacht, Adam van Noort and Otto van Vejn.

Rubens was carrying the Spanish royal family gift, a bunch of paintings by the Italian masters. Before them, I added my wines and my canvases. Rubens was highly rated in Madrid, and in Spain he himself became famous as an artist. After turning back from the trip, Rubens rose in price in Italy - seeing Florence, Genoa, Pisa, Parma, Venice, Milan, long lived in Rome.
1606 p. the artist took off one of the most important inscriptions - the painting of the head vvtar of the Church of Santa Maria near Valliselli.
In 1608, his mother died, and Rubens returned to his fatherland. Vіn otrimav posad of the court painter near Brussels with the infant Izabelli and Archduke Albert.
In 1609 p. Rubens married the 18-year-old Isabella Brandt, secretary of the Moscow regency. The artist, having bought a mansion on Vatter Street, has a name for himself. In honor of the friendship, Rubens wrote the underlings: stink with the young squad, taking one by the hand, sit on the aphids of a rosy bush of honeysuckle. The same for the city hall in Antwerp, the artist creates the majestic canvas “Adoration of the Magi”.
In 1613 p. Rubens victorious at the prayer of Albert "The Assumption of Our Lady" for the Church of Notre-Dame de la Chapelle near Brussels. The unimaginable success of the mav yogo painting on the Antwerp Cathedral: “Knowledge from the Cross” (at the center), “Punishment of the Lord” (left-handed), “Apparition at the Temple” (right-handed) (1611-1614). Penzlі Rubens lay the canvases "Polyuvannya levi", "Battle of the Greeks with the Amazons" (offended 1616-1618); "Perseus and Andromeda", "The Last Daughters of Leucippus" (1620-1625); cycle of paintings "History of Mary Medich" (1622-1625).

A little bit of cheerfulness and merriment is instilled in scenes from the life of the people (“Kermessa”, around 1635-1636). Until the 30s. and more of the best landscapes of Rubens (“Landscape with a merry”, close to 1632-1635).
Rubens' artistic spadshchina is boundless. Hundreds and hundreds of robots - mythological and religious compositions, portraits, landscapes, small sketches and majestic decorative canvases, little ones and architectural projects - all of which would fit more than one human biography.
Peter Paul Rubens, path at the painting
The creativity of the Flemish maister is a grandiose book that tells about the beauty of man, the power and greatness of nature. The art of Rubens is a song of health and joy.
The great painter was born in a foreign country, in the German town of Siegen, where his fathers emigrated, fighting against the terror of the Spanish insurgents. If after the death of the father in 1587 p. the future militia at once moved from the mother to Antwerp, and found a rich place near the total desert. Flanders, which was left behind, to the leadership of Holland, under the Spanish panuvannya, duly inspired its forces. The fallow camp of the krai greeted the boisterous presentation of national self-confidence. Ale, in the fates of Rubens, the Flemish mys- tetstvo only stumbled to know the ground under their feet.
Twenty-three-fold artist to rob a rich rock - in a future home to Italy, Leonardo, Raphael, Michelangelo, Titian, Caravaggio become the right teachers there, Vіn developing creativity, copying paintings, rob sculptures, Starting from the beginning of the hour. Mi yogo at the court of the Duke of Mantua, then at Rome. In 1603, roci vin zdijsnyuє Persha is more expensive to Іspanії.
Turning from 1608 to the fatherland, Rubens quickly borrowed a provost camp near the artistic life of the region. Yogo's authority is unparalleled. At the workshop of Rubens (de navchannya, zokrema, Jordan and Van Dyck passed), hundreds of magnificent canvases are being prepared for the yard, the nobility of that church. Ala Rubens needs to know an hour more in order to win the diplomatic mission of the Spanish nascents: travel to Holland, France, England. In Spain in 1628 he met the young Velazquez.
Place in history
Like a diplomat Rubens, having spent a lot of energy on the establishment of the world, the world was constantly cursed by the European powers. Rozcharovanie, vіv buv zmušeny and razreshtoy parted from political poverty. Ale vono gave the artist knowledge of people of those weaknesses; Rubens "hating courts".
The pompous canvases of Rubens, consecrated to the greatness of the sovereigns, can, perhaps, cool down the pompous spectator of the day. Etienne Fromentin, the author of the book "Old Maistri", having made them look like a stony robe - the stench itself gained special fame for the artist's life.
