Artist: Peter Paul Rubens
A docent-led reading of a small devotional painting attributed to Peter Paul Rubens, showing two clasped hands in prayer. The account separates what is visible in the picture from what the surviving records can and cannot establish, including the gaps in its documentation.
Artist: Peter Paul Rubens
A gallery tour of Rubens's first major commission, painted for the private chapel of Eleonora de' Medici Gonzaga, duchess of Mantua, and rediscovered only in 2001. The tour explains the descent itself, the Eucharist symbolism the sources attach to the kneeling woman, and the archival evidence that confirms Rubens's authorship.
Artist: Peter Paul Rubens
A docent-led look at Rubens's large Baroque canvas of the mythological abduction of the daughters of Leucippus by the twin brothers Castor and Pollux, painted around 1617 and now in the Alte Pinakothek in Munich. The guide distinguishes what is visible in the picture from the myth it retells and from the limited interpretive evidence that survives.
