Rubens' Art of Persuasion
NEW!
Peter Paul Rubens, in his vibrant oil paintings, defended his faith, his profession, his business — and quite a few paying clients. This course will consider how his majestic altarpieces tied Catholic dogma to deeply felt human experience; how the Greek and Roman subjects of his history paintings put him forward as a gentleman rather than a craftsman; and how he designed for widely distributed prints, both to establish his value as an art consultant and dealer, and to defend copyright. His work, imagining various crowned heads at their most noble and worthy, not only supported their politics but earned him princely commissions. Each class lecture will be heavily illustrated, with time for questions and discussion. The course will touch on Rubens' Marie de Medici cycle, but not in the detail of my previous OLLI course on that subject.
