Phototopia Peter Paul Rubens “Helena Fourment with Children”
The artist’s late works are marked by the virtuosity of painting, severity and laconicism of artistic means - “Helena Fourment with Children” (about 1636, Louvre, Paris, work not completed) The image of the young wife and children - daughter Claire-Jeanne and son François - breathes the serene happiness of motherhood.
Rubens worked on this order in Antwerp for two years. In 1625, in his presence, 24 canvases (21 paintings from the life of the queen plus 3 portraits) were hung in the Luxembourg Palace (later moved to the Louvre)
