Rubens is to be credited with contributing to the birth of Baroque art as well as its highest expressions that had spread to all other regions. His influence was so great and widely recognized by art critics, that Bernard Berenson defined him as “an Italian painter”. By following his connections with cities like Genoa, Mantua, and Venice, as well as his Roman period, it is possible to recreate Rubens’ deep bond with the Italian culture throughout his subsequent artistic production.
This is indeed the leit motiv of the exhibition entitled “Peter Paul Rubens and the Birth of Baroque”. It highlights Rubens’ connections with ancient art and classical sculpture, as well as his close attention to the great Renaissance painters like Tintoretto and Correggio. In particular, the exhibition aims to emphasize the tremendous influence exerted by this great Master on other younger, prominent Baroque Italian artists, such as Pietro da Cortona, Bernini, Lanfranco, and Luca Giordano.
In order to clearly present this complex topic, Anna Lo Bianco – the exhibition’s curator – has selected a set of works that perfectly illustrate these themes, also by comparing Rubens’ paintings with those by some other celebrated Italian Cinquecento Masters and Baroque artists: over 70 works, 40 of which by the great Flemish Master, lent out for this exhibition by some of the most important international collections, such as the National Museum of Prado, Saint Petersburg’s Hermitage, the Gemäldegalerie in Berlin and the one of the Prince of Liechtenstein, as well as by several Italian collections, such as the National Gallery of Ancient Art in Rome, Musei Capitolini, Galleria Borghese, Galleria degli Uffizi and Galleria Palatina in Florence, Museo di Palazzo Ducale in Mantua, Galleria di Palazzo Spinola in Genoa, and the National Archaeological Museum in Naples.
