JPEG file comment | RUBENS, Pieter Pauwel
(b. 1577, Siegen, d. 1640, Antwerpen) Venus at her Toilet c. 1608 Oil on canvas, 137 x 11 cm Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza, Madrid This painting provides an introduction to Rubens's mythological work and also to his ideal of female beauty. Although it is a copy of an <A onclick="return OpenOther('/html/t/tiziano/mytholo1/venustoi.html')" HREF="/html/t/tiziano/mytholo1/venustoi.html">original by Titian</A>, Rubens develops his own characteristic style of splendid and opulent female beauty which has brought his work universal fame. He uses a rich and contrasting palette of light tones, while the looseness of the brushstroke and the bright and uniform lighting serve to soften the contours, giving the painting a feeling of gauzy lightness. The toilet of Venus is a timeless theme of sensuous seduction.
