 | | Rubens was a man of his time; his studies of Italian art in no way led him back to the Quattrocentisti nor the Raffaeleschi; their power was at an end. | | | Rubens and Ferdinand had met at Madrid, and only a short time elapsed before the painter was confirmed in his official standinga matter of small importance, if we consider that the last years of his life were almost exclusively employed in working much more for the king than for his brother. | | | Rubens was at the time laid up with gout, but Prince Ferdinand was desirous of expressing his satisfaction, and called upon the painter, remaining a long time at his house. |

| | Rubens admired the way in which Carracci and his school revived the painting of classical stories and myths and arranged impressive altar-panels for the edification of the faithful; but he also admired the uncompromising sincerity with which Caravaggio studied nature. | | | When Rubens returned to Antwerp in 1608 he was a man of thirty-one, who had learned everything there was to be learned; he had acquired such facility in handling brush and paint, in representing nudes and drapery, armour and jewels, animals and landscapes, that he had no rival north of the Alps. | | | It was as the painter of the Catholic camp that Rubens rose to his unique position. |
