The Miracles of St. Ignatius of Loyola, Peter Paul Rubens, about 1617/18
This monumental painting was displayed alternately with The Miracles of St. Francis Xavier (Inv. No. GG 519) on the high altar of Antwerp’s Jesuit Church, where Rubens had been responsible for the interior decorations. There he united individual elements, some of which were based on actual occurrences in the life of the founder of the order, while the rest were part of the “repertoire” for depicting the life of a saint. The spontaneity of the concept for the modello (Inv. No. GG 530) is less pronounced in the finished work, which has a more didactic intention.
Title:
The Miracles of St. Ignatius of Loyola

Peter Paul Rubens (1577 Siegen - 1640 Antwerpen)

Infos zur Führung
Was macht einen guten Maler aus? Handwerkliches Können? Originalität? Wie fast alle Künstler*innen hat sich auch Peter Paul Rubens einiges von anderen abgeschaut. Wir nehmen seine Werke genau unter die Lupe, suchen nach möglichen Inspirationsquellen und finden heraus, was ein Bild zu einem „echten“ Rubens macht.
