This review is from: Rubens Drawings: 44 Plates (Dover Fine Art, History of Art) (Paperback)
Contrary to Redmund's review, this is a tidy collection of one of history's most underrated daughtsmen. For those like me, who do not like Ruben's paintings (note to Redmund: Rubens had a virtual factory of workers who did most of his painting), this book is both surprising and delightful.

This review is from: Rubens Drawings: 44 Plates (Dover Fine Art, History of Art) (Paperback)
This is an excellent book on the drawings of Rubens. The works are very diverse and a whole range of different media are used. This is a great book to study for an art student.

This review is from: Rubens Drawings: 44 Plates (Dover Fine Art, History of Art) (Paperback)
This book is not one of the best among those in the Dover Art Library. A handful (about a half-dozen) of pictures are good with sufficient details and/or a tight organization to be appreciated. Most are so-so. Some are definitely fillers. It does not help that Rubens himself, according to the Publisher's Note, did not think highly of his own drawings and did not even sign a single one of them. All told, this selection is not impressive.Rubens's paintings, rather than his drawings, should rightly be his legacy.
