5.0 out of 5 stars Well worth reading
I bought this book because I was researching some of Rubens more obscure paintings. It was a great help though I will admit that it has been written for the intellectual reader who already knows a fair amount about Ruebens, his life and work. Svetlana Alpers presents the reader with various paintings and sketches and discusses them in detail throughout the book...

3.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful acocunt of the life of Peter Paul Rubens
If you admire Flemish Baroque art and admire Rubens, this book is for you. An intertesting and educational documentation of his life. See parts of him you never knew. Excellent source for studying and guide for Baroque art.

I bought this book because I was researching some of Rubens more obscure paintings. It was a great help though I will admit that it has been written for the intellectual reader who already knows a fair amount about Ruebens, his life and work. Svetlana Alpers presents the reader with various paintings and sketches and discusses them in detail throughout the book. This is not an easy book to read but if you are patient and are willing to read it in several sittings then you will definitely benefit from it. A good solid read for anyone wanting to research Rubens on a more scholarly level.
