Rubens House
In the heart of Antwerp is the Rubens House, the home of Peter Paul Rubens, the world-famous Baroque painter from the 16th and 17th centuries. For four hundred years, he and his work have been a source of inspiration and a reference. And most of his work originated in this house. Rubens was a fan of Rafael, the Italian painter. So it won't surprise you that in 1610, just like his example, Rubens designed his own city palace, near the Meir, which has always been a coveted part of the city. In this house Rubens created his masterpieces, his children played in the garden and received his high, noble and even royal guests. In the meantime, the paintings were busy working in the studio. At his peak, Rubens could not handle all the work alone and led a team of professional artists.
