  1. "Agrippina and Germanicus," Peter Paul Rubens, c. 1614.

    Rubens (1577-1640) was one of the most influential Flemish Baroque painters, and an icon in the art world.

    This was painted during his time in Antwerp, after returning from a prolonged stay in Italy. There he was influenced by Roman art and antiquities, and it left a lasting impression.

    Agrippina the Elder (14BC - 33AD) was the daughter of Roman general Marcus Agrippa and wife of Germanicus, a general and politician. The two had a number of children, including future emperors Nero and Caligula.

    Now this is obviously not a portrait taken from the life, but a mixture of portrait and history painting. The two likenesses don't bear much resemblance to surviving busts of the two, and the styling is very much an idealized Flemish Baroque vision. But it's still impressive work.

    Happy Portrait Monday!

  6. "Landscape with Philemon and Baucis," Peter Paul Rubens, 1620-25.

    Rubens (1577-1640) was the great master of Flemish Baroque art, whose name lives on in the term "rubenesque" when describing someone's figure. (Go look it up.)

    This dramatic painting was originally to have been just a stormy landscape, but Rubens tweaked his plan to give us a scene out of Greek mythology.

    In the story, Zeus and Hermes descended to earth and disguised themselves as beggars to test mankind's charity. In a town, they were turned away by every house except one, where an elderly couple named Philemon and Baucis lived. To punish the town, the two gods took the oldsters to a hill and then flooded the town, except for their house, which became an ornate temple. They remained as its keepers, and turned into intertwining trees when they died.

    So while you have the torrent wiping away the town, you can also see the tiny figures of the gods and the old couple off to the right. I'd rather see them turning into trees myself...

  11. “Rubens, for instance, takes a gross pleasure in female flesh, rendering it truthfully from lack of imagination and analysis. Idealist painters like Bourgereau awake to the divergence between Nature and their academic standards of Beauty, falsify the facts in order to delude themselves. The greatest, like Rembrandt, paint a gallant, a hag, and a carcass with equal passion and rapture; they love the truth as it is. They do not admit that anything can be ugly or evil; its existence justifies itself. This is because they know themselves to be part of an harmonious unity; to disdain any item of it would be to blaspheme the whole.” library.hrmtc.com/2026/04/30/r #academicStandards #aleisterCrowley #analysis #anyItem #asItIs #awake #beauty #blaspheme #book #carcass #deludeThemselves #disdain #divergence #doNotAdmit #equal #Evil #existence #facts #falsify #femaleFlesh #forInstance #gallant #greatest #grossPleasure #hag #harmoniousUnity #idealistPainters #inOrderTo #justifies #knowThemselves #lackOfImagination #liberLegis #love #nature #NewComment #paint #passion #PeterPaulRubens #quote #rapture #Rembrandt #rendering #takes #TheBookOfTheLaw #truth #truthfully #ugly #whole #WilliamAdolpheBouguereau

  13. Von Avantgarden und Kunstlumpen – Wutbürger Streifzüge

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPaMbhDIOI8

    Im März 1920 durchbrach eine Kugel das Fenster der Kunstgalerie des Dresdner Zwingers und traf dort ein Bild von Peter Paul Rubens. Dieser Anschlag auf das Leben der Kunst wurde zum Anlass der sogenannten “Kunstlumpdebatte”, an der sich u.a. Oskar Kokoschka und John Heartfield beteiligten. Mehrere Veranstaltungen der Reihe “Kunst, Spektakel & Revolution” kreisten um diesen Kontext, in dem Künstlerinnen und Künstler das Ende der Kunst proklamierten. Der Beitrag machte auf das Herbstprogramm von “Kunst, Spektakel & Revolution” aufmerksam.

  20. "Honeysuckle Bower," Peter Paul Rubens, c. 1609.

    Rubens (1577-1640) is justly famous and popular; he was quite prolific but his quality never suffered. He was a huge influence in his time and after his passing, embedding his paintings with rich symbolism. And, from what I've read, he was also an extremely good person, intelligent and compassionate.

    Here we have a double portrait, of the artist and his first wife, Isabella Brant. Here, they clasp right hands, an ancient custom indicating marital fidelity. They are surrounded by honeysuckle, a symbol of lasting pleasure, steadfastness, and permanence. The richness of their attire seems more indicative of Rubens' ambitions for worldly success, which certainly came to fruition. Sadly, the permanence here was only symbolic; Isabella died of bubonic plague at the age of 34, after they had three children together. This was painted soon after their wedding; after her passing, he did a great posthumous portrait of her, with a mischievous smile. She must have been a corker, and he's not so bad himself.
