An international conference in Rome dedicated to Rubens and Italian culture

From December 17 to 19, 2018, an international conference entitled Rubens and Italian Culture 1600 - 1608 will be held in Rome between Palazzo Venezia and the Capitoline Museums.

Pieter Paul Rubens (Siegen, 1577 - Antwerp, 1640) spent the period between July 1600 and October 1608 in Italy, as evidenced by more than two hundred documents, six public commissions, more than seventy paintings and countless drawings.

It was a period in which he remained in perpetual contact with the Flemings present in Rome and with his countrymen who remained in Antwerp.
At this international conference, scholars will reflect on the network of contacts Rubens maintained during those years and the influences he received.

Among the topics that will be covered are Rubens’s fortunes in Florence in the seventeenth century, the artist’s influence in the court of Valladolid, Rubens in Mantua, the new mature style in Rome, Rubens’s portraits of Genoese, and many others.

The conference has a scientific committee consisting of Raffaella Morselli, Anna Lo Bianco, Véronique van de Kerckhof, Luc Duerloo, with coordination by Cecilia Paolini
