Sir Peter Paul Rubens; 28 June 1577 -- 30 May 1640) was a Flemish Baroque painter, and a proponent of an extravagant Baroque style that emphasized movement, color, and sensuality. He is well-known for his Counter-Reformation altarpieces, portraits, landscapes, and history paintings of mythological and allegorical subjects. In addition to running a large studio in Antwerp that produced paintings popular with nobility and art collectors throughout Europe, Rubens was a classically educated humanist scholar, art collector, and diplomat who was knighted by both Philip IV, King of Spain, and Charles I, King of England.


Rubens nacque a Siegen, in Germania, da padre fiammingo Calvinista, e trascorse l'infanzia a Colonia. In seguito, nel 1589, si trasferì ad Anversa dove ricevette una educazione umanista, grazie allo studio del latino e della letteratura classica e si convertirà al cattolicesimo.
Alla età di quattordici anni, incominciò il suo apprendistato artistico con Tobias Verhaeght.
