Thinking Through Rubens Selected Studies by Arnout Balis

Arnout Balis (1952-2021), one of the greatest Rubens authorities of his generation and beyond, stood for openness and inclusiveness in scholarship as in life. Exemplary in their originality, scope and intellectual rigour, his many outstanding publications, of which a selection spanning forty years of scholarship is presented here, constitute but a small part of what he contributed to the understanding of the art of Rubens and his contemporaries.
