The Old Testament

This series, edited by Professor d'Hulst, is a definitive multi-volumed catalogue raisonné of the work of the great Flemish painter Peter Paul Rubens. Part III provides sixty-seven outstanding examples of Rubens's gift as a narrator, bearing witness to the fertility of his imagination, the accuracy of his drawings, and the inspired skill of his brushwork. Each work is considered in light of the best scholarship, with full provenances for the originals and the copies, a record of exhibitions in which they have been shown, as well as the literature in which they have been discussed. Everything catalogued is also illustrated with additional comparative illustrations.
