About This Item

Nan A. Talese / Doubleday 2009. Hardcover, 316 pages, ENG, 240 x 170 mm, New, with some illustrations in colour and b/w, . ISBN 9780385523790. Although his popularity is eclipsed by Rembrandt today, Peter Paul Rubens was revered by his contemporaries as the greatest painter of his era, if not of all history. His undeniable artistic genius, bolstered by a modest disposition and a reputation as a man of tact and discretion, made him a favorite among monarchs and political leaders across Europe?and gave him the perfect cover for the clandestine activities that shaped the landscape of seventeenth-century politics.
