Rubens, the sketch painter

Pieter Paul Rubens was a Flemish artist considered one of the most important painters of European art. Although he focused on painting, he also made numerous designs for architecture, sculptures and decorative objects.

In this exhibition, the Prado Museum aims to highlight one of the most outstanding facets of Flemish’s work, that of a sketch painter. The exhibition consists of more than 80 sketches, as well as some 20 paintings, drawings and other works that contribute to contextualize the sketches on display.
