Shortly before November 1636, Rubens received the commission from Philip IV of Spain to supply more than sixty paintings with mythological subjects for his new hunting lodge, the Torre de la Parada. In about one and a half years, the enormous task was completed. The pictures had been painted partly by Rubens himself, partly from his designs by a number of collaborators, among them Cornelis de Vos, Jacob Jordaens, Theodoor van Thulden and Erasmus Quellinus. Today, forty of these paintings, more than fifty of Rubens's brilliant sketches and a few preparatory drawings survive. Together with three never previously published eighteenth-century inventories of the Torre de La Parada, they have provided the material for the new analysis of the series.

History & Criticism

In 1634 Rubens was commissioned to design the street decorations for the joyous entry into the city of the new governor of the Netherlands. The author describes the historical context in which the Entry took place and discusses the organization and chronology of the activities of Rubens andother artists involoved. The core of the book is a narrative of the procession, combined with a catalogue raisonne of the works produced for the occasion.

Examines in detail all known landscapes by Rubens including paintings, drawings, and sketches for particular works.

This volume catalogues and discusses all the known representations by Rubens of the Life of Christ after the Passion. It includes the little-known group of paintings and drawings of Christ Triumphant over Sin and Death, as well as the various depictions of the Conversion of Saint Paul, the Assumption and Coronation of the Virgin, the Last Judgement, the Fall of the Damned and the Assumption of the Blessed. They range from small panels to the largest works Rubens ever painted and count amongst the most popular and influential of his compostions. In his catalogue Dr. Freedberg presents a considerable amount of new evidence relating to their evolution and patronage, while separate sections are devoted to particularly important and unusual aspects of their iconography.

Individual Artists

Rubens painted some thirty hunting scenes throughout his career, many of which have not been studied extensively. This book catalogues and discusses all of Rubens' known hunting scenes, together with drawings, copies, and comparative material. Balis examines Rubens' source material as well as the influence of his hunting scenes on later Flemish painters.

This series, edited by Professor d'Hulst, is a definitive multi-volumed catalogue raisonné of the work of the great Flemish painter Peter Paul Rubens. Part III provides sixty-seven outstanding examples of Rubens's gift as a narrator, bearing witness to the fertility of his imagination, the accuracy of his drawings, and the inspired skill of his brushwork. Each work is considered in light of the best scholarship, with full provenances for the originals and the copies, a record of exhibitions in which they have been shown, as well as the literature in which they have been discussed. Everything catalogued is also illustrated with additional comparative illustrations.
