LIECHTENSTEIN MUSEUM Wien

GALLERY 8: PETER PAUL RUBENS: RELIGIOUS SUBJECTS


The opening of the Liechtenstein Museum marks the return to Vienna of most of the 30 or more works of Peter Paul Rubens in the Princely Collections. The focus is on the master’s early work, the paintings on show in this room dating from between 1602 and 1627. Rubens’ stay in Italy, from which he returned in 1608, represents an artistic watershed in his oeuvre. The three-dimensional, strongly-modelled figures of his monumental compositions result from a close study of classical art, while the stronger colours and new painting technique are evidence of Rubens’s extensive study of Italian painting. The pictorial composition is often characterised by dynamic diagonals. The works displayed in this room have predominantly religious subjects.
