Survey of Art 1B
Flemish Baroque
Fast Facts
Flanders was predominately Catholic during the 17th Century. The Catholic church, Flemish nobility, and wealthy patrons elsewhere in Europe supported a flourishing art market. Peter Paul Rubens, was a popular, highly eclectic artist who learned and borrowed from artwork viewed on his many diplomatic missions. He interpreted what he saw according to his own ideas and his patrons wishes. His large and influential workshop employed many specialized assistants who helped complete the large body of work attributed to Rubens.
