Peter Paul Rubens




The Deposition, 1611 central piece in triptych

Painting that would emulate Titian attempts to catch to catch the sensational aspects of things. What painting, as an art, shares with objects of sensation is visibility ; and vision is in the first instance the experience of being bombarded by stimuli of colour . Rubens attempted to evoke all the senses in his work. It is enough to refer to the grimy, bruised and bloody foot of Christ touching the pale skin of the Magdalen's shoulder in his 1611 Deposition. But the important thing for him is the engagement of the senses. The role of the eye in the context of painting is self-evident.
