Court Painter to the Archducal Couple
After being presented at court in August 1609, Rubens received his patent as court painter to Archduke Albert and the Infanta Isabella; at the same time he secured the right to remain working in Antwerp rather than Brussels, and to be paid a fee for each painting.

Purchase of Land and Construction of a House and Studio
Rubens acquired a large plot on the Wapper and built a mansion for 10,000 florins with a studio and a gallery for his collection; the fitting-out lasted until 1616, and contemporaries called the house the most beautiful in the city.

Marie de' Medici's Commission for the Luxembourg Palace Cycles
The Queen Mother of France, Marie de' Medici, commissioned from Rubens two large allegorical cycles for the Luxembourg Palace — one on her own life and one on the life of the late Henry IV; the second series was never completed.
