Rubens And His Legacy: Van Dyck To Cézanne

Rubens and His Legacy: Van Dyck to Cézanne will showcase Peter Paul Rubens – described as the ‘prince of painters’ – with a major overview of his work and legacy.

The exhibition will bring together masterpieces produced during his lifetime, as well as major works by great artists who were influenced by him in the generations that followed. We see the influence of Rubens in the prints of Picasso and Rembrandt, in the portraiture of Van Dyck, in the hunting scenes and devotional works of Delacroix, and in the landscapes of Constable and Gainsborough. It is a far reaching and remarkable legacy.

Set to be one of the biggest spectacles of 2015, this is an unprecedented opportunity to see masterpieces by Rubens side by side with the work of his artistic heirs.
