Analyzing four Rubens paintings created between 1610 and 1620, this book re-examines the artist?»s approach to classical mythology. It offers a set of theoretically-informed close readings that, taken together, provide a fuller understanding of the dynamics of Rubens?»s copious pictorial language, and can serve as methodological templates for looking at, and reading of, many other of his complex inventions.
