Rubens & Women @ Dulwich Picture Gallery
23 September 2023 - 28 January 2024
Rubens & Women, this major exhibition of the Flemish artist Peter Paul Rubens (1577–1640), unites a diverse range of paintings and drawings from throughout the artist’s career. The exhibition challenges the popular assumption that the artist painted only one type of woman, providing instead a more nuanced view of the varied and important place occupied by women, both real and imagined, in his world.
Over 40 paintings and drawings along with archive material reveals the essential ways in which Rubens’s relationships with women nourished his creativity and career – from the role played by his female patrons and family members to his profound faith, artistic beliefs, and great loves.
