Sobre el cuadro

The present work is a model for a title page in a book published in Antwerp by Jan Cnobbaert in1635. Although Rubens was a prolific designer, it is one of only three known oil sketches in grisaille (monochrome painting) he made for title pages. This work is a good example of Rubens’ art which blended features of the Italian High Renaissance, with which he became acquainted during an extended visit to Italy, with northern realism. Back in Antwerp in 1608 to seek work prospects on the eve of the Twelve-year Truce with Spain (1609-21), he benefited from the stimulating government and patronage of Archdukes Albert and Isabella.
