Dr. Peter Paul Rubensさんのイラストまとめ

3/3 Jerome's bullseye window reflects on the wall (thank you Dürer). Outside, camels pass through Flemish landscape. Sure there's a reason for that...

2/2 They were just trying to have a nice, quiet picnic when all of a sudden the neighbors showed up in Commedia del'Arte costumes and attempted an amusing skit. By Louis de Caullery.

Died (alas!) on this day in 1657, Balthasar van der Ast. Collected, arranged & painted things of natural beauty. Here, basket of fabulous flowers, some fruits, & a few shells, one inhabited. 1622.

2/2 Dragging the victim: it's Slander, attended by Fraud & Conspiracy. Beautiful and deadly. Yes, Botticelli is the man for the moment!

Woman in profile, 1654. Another really marvelous painting by Carel Fabritius, born OTD 1622. You have to wonder what else was in his studio when it blew up (literally) later that year!

2/2 The Connoisseur. Just relaxing and staring at an unarmed woman. Hmm, is she glaring back at him or what?

Super-early flower still life painted in 1603 by Roelant Savery, before everybody else was doing flowers. Gorgeous! Also A+ lizards & bugs & shells.

Died (alas!) on this day in 1639, Roelant Savery. Painter of (mostly) the natural world but occasionally the unnatural. Here, a dodo from 1626. Also died, alas!

Will that very distant ship see him before the storm hits? All Terror: The Gulf Stream, 1899, by Winslow Homer. Today is his day.

2/2 The people of Lystra mistake Paul and Barnabas for Gods and offer sacrifices to them. Understandable error given that they were posed before such an A+ temple, as designed by Hans Vredeman de Vries.
