Peter Paul Rubens a short history of the artist Peter Paul Rubens
When Holbien had left the German speaking countries painting there began to decline to a frightening extent, and when Holbien died the arts were in a similar plight in England.  The one northern artist to come most directly into contact with the roman atmosphere of Caravaggio's days was the Flemish painter called Peter Paul Rubens (1577-1640) Who came to Rome when he was twenty three years old. Rubens admired the way in which Carracci and his school revived the painting of classical stories and myths. When Rubens returned to Antwerp in 1608 he was a man of thirty one, who learned everything there was to be learned.
