Frequently Asked Questions...
I have a Capodimonte vase, made in Italy, but I can't seem to find one like it online?
This one is standard like most, about 12 - 14 inches high with one handle but what makes it different is that it has adult female nudes on it. I have searched through literally hundreds of capodimonte vases and the only nudes I can find is one that portrays the parents and two small children, or the ones with the nude cerafin (sp)? - those baby angels- and that's it. This is making me wonder if I have either (A) a very rare piece or (B) a very well created forgery. Any ideas anyone?

Peter Paul Rubens - Flemish Baroque Painter
Sir Peter Paul Rubens (June 28, 1577 – May 30, 1640) was a Flemish painter of the Baroque school who is considered one of the greatest artists of all time. His works combine Flemish realism with the freedom and sensuality of the Renaissance, and they had a tremendous influence on other Flemish artists. Rubens was unique as an artist in that he was also a diplomat and an important political figure.
Rubens was born in Siegen, Germany in 1577. He was the sixth child in a family of devoted Calvinists who had been forced to flee Antwerp. His father died in exile in 1587 and two years later his mother took the family back to Antwerp where she raised her children as Roman Catholics. Catholicism would become a dominant force in Rubens' work.
In 1598, when he was just 21 years old, Rubens was admitted to the Antwerp painters' guild. Two years later he traveled to Italy to study the works of the Renaissance masters. The Duke of Mantua, who had a splendid collection of paintings, hired him as court painter, and Rubens was able to study at first hand the works of Veronese, Tintoretto, Titian and Caravaggio. The influence of their use of color and form would remain visible in his mature style for years to come. Even after Rubens returned to Antwerp, he would continue writing letters in Italian and he signed his name as "Pietro Paolo Rubens."
The Duke of Mantua sent Rubens to Rome in 1601 to make copies of great Italian works and it was there that he obtained his first important commission for a Roman church: an altarpiece known as St. Helena with the True Cross.
In 1603 Rubens was sent on his first diplomatic mission: to deliver gifts from the Duke of Mantua to King Philip III of Spain. This journey not only gave him a unique opportunity to see the works of Titian and Raphael in the royal collection, but was also to be the first of many such missions combining art and diplomacy.
In 1608 Rubens received word that his mother was dying and he left Italy immediately. By the time he reached Antwerp his mother had already passed away.
Although Rubens had every intention of returning to Italy, a country he considered his spiritual home, success tied him to Antwerp. His reputation had gone before him and, aged 33 he became court painter to the acting rulers of the Spanish Netherlands, the Archduke Albert and the Archduchess Isabella. Rubens was so successful that the Archduke granted him permission to keep his studio in Antwerp instead of being based at the court in Brussels. But success came with a price; Rubens would never be free to return to Italy.
In 1609 Rubens married Isabella Brant with whom he would have three children. The commissions flooded in, requiring Rubens to hire assistants and apprentices, the most famous of which was Anthony Van Dyck.
Between 1621 and 1630, Rubens undertook a number of diplomatic duties for Archduke Ferdinand and Archduchess Isabella, including negotiating peace treaties between the Spanish Netherlands and the Dutch Republic, and between England and Spain. Both Charles I of England and Philip IV of Spain knighted him. Charles I also asked him to decorate the ceiling of the Whitehall Palace Banqueting Hall, and Cambridge University granted him an honorary degree.
Rubens returned to Antwerp in 1630, four years after the death of his first wife. At the age of 53, he remarried to Helene Fourment, sixteen years old and the daughter of an Antwerp colleague. Helene was the inspiration for the sensual, voluptuous female nudes in his later works. The couple had five children.
In his last years, Rubens retired to the country estate he had purchased in 1635. He devoted himself to painting and to caring for his young family. He died at the age of 64 after suffering from painful arthritis and was buried in Antwerp.
