Peter Paul Rubens

Sir Peter Paul Rubens; 28 June 1577 – 30 May 1640) was a Flemish artist and diplomat from the Duchy of Brabant in the Southern Netherlands (modern-day Belgium). He is considered the most influential artist of the Flemish Baroque tradition.

Rubens's highly charged compositions reference erudite aspects of classical and Christian history.
