Rubens exhibition opens today

Rubens: A Master in the Making opens at The National Gallery today, the exhibition tells the remarkable story of Rubens's life.

The exhibition tells the remarkable story of Rubens's dramatic ascension from working as a pupil of a minor Antwerp artist, to become the dominant international painter of his time.



The culmination of the show is a group of heroic images Rubens created from his ambitious amalgam of sources on returning to Antwerp (1609-1614). These include 'Samson and Delilah' and 'The Massacre of the Innocents', works that were last seen together in Rubens's studio.
