An oil painting on canvas mounted on board depicting a portrait of Rubens after the original oil painting on canvas, Self Portrait, 1623 after Sir Peter Paul Rubens, 1577 to 1640. Self Portrait is a 1623 self portrait in oils on canvas by Peter Paul Rubens, signed and dated by the artist. He produced it to send to the Prince of Wales, the future Charles I, King of England, Scots, and Ireland and it is still in the Royal Collection. Sir Peter Paul Rubens was a Flemish artist and diplomat. He is considered the most influential artist of the Flemish Baroque tradition. Rubenss highly charged compositions reference erudite aspects of classical and Christian history. His unique and immensely popular Baroque style emphasized movement, colour, and sensuality, which followed the immediate, dramatic artistic style promoted in the Counter Reformation. Rubens was a painter producing altarpieces, portraits, landscapes, and history paintings of mythological and allegorical subjects. One of a kind artwork.
