Moments of Rubens
In 1598, when he was 21 years old, he became a master of the guild (an association, in this case of painters) of St. Luke of Antwerp. He then travelled to Italy for 2 years to study the painters of the Renaissance. In Venice, he became acquainted with the work of Titian, whom he would consider his true master for the rest of his life. We see Titian's influence in color, movement, and the loose brushstroke.

1605-11. Venus and Cupid
1606-08. Fight of St. George and the Dragon. In 1608, he returned to Antwerp after having worked for nine years for the Duke of Mantua (Mantua is located between Venice and Milan).
