Rubens: An Extra Large Story (2015)

Rubens, the Baroque master, is largely dismissed today. His large, dramatic paintings filled with figures have lost their appeal for modern audiences. It's not just the nudity; the scale of his work – the epic stories, fantastical scenes, and massive canvases – feels overwhelming to contemporary tastes. But Waldemar Januszczak argues that Rubens has been unfairly misunderstood. By examining the artist’s life and reinterpreting his work, Waldemar aims to correct these widespread misconceptions about Rubens.
