Focusing on four Rubens paintings created between 1610 and 1620, this book re-examines the artist's approach to classical mythology through a set of theoretically-informed close readings. Taken together, these case studies provide a fuller understanding of the dynamics of Rubens's copious pictorial language, and can serve as methodological templates for looking at, and reading of, many other of his complex inventions.
