#Rubenesque
This is important because I just learned about him last semester and was not aware of how much POC work he had until this post. Obviously, this wasn’t taught in art history class but are you fucking kidding me? This is amazing work and it should be on the curriculum, period.
This makes me SO ANGRY, because I have literally dozens of works by Rubens in that search/tag.
I want to take away any excuse for paintings showing a diverse history to be excluded from art history classes. So please keep sharing!! I want everyone to know about them.
The PoC in these paintings are TYPICAL of Rubens, they are NOT EXCEPTIONS.
These works are #Rubenesque
