EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching in black on ivory laid paper, titled "Sir Peter Paul Rubens" and created by Thomas Worlidge in 1757, offers a glimpse into the world of the renowned Baroque artist, Sir Peter Paul Rubens (1577-1640), also known as Pieter Pauwel Rubens in his native Dutch-speaking regions. The image captures Rubens in the later stages of his life, with a handlebar moustache and a full beard, dressed in the fashionable attire of the eighteenth century. He gazes directly at the viewer with an intense and confident expression, his hands resting on a cloak draped over his lap. The portrait was created during the Baroque era, a period marked by grandeur, drama, and ornate decoration. Rubens, a painter from the Low Countries, was a leading figure of this artistic movement, known for his dynamic and expressive compositions. The etching, which was likely produced as a study or draft, showcases Worlidge's skill as a draftsman, capturing the intricacies of Rubens' facial features and clothing. The image is now part of the esteemed collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, a renowned art museum and research center in the United States. It serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of Rubens and the significant impact he had on the art world, both in his time and beyond.
