This volume catalogues and discusses all the known representations by Rubens of the Life of Christ after the Passion. It includes the little-known group of paintings and drawings of
Christ Triumphant over Sin and Death
, as well as the various depictions of the
Conversion of Saint Paul
, the
Assumption and Coronation of the Virgin
Last Judgement
Fall of the Damned
and the
Assumption of the Blessed
. They range from small panels to the largest works Rubens ever painted and count amongst the most popular and influential of his compostions. In his catalogue Dr. Freedberg presents a considerable amount of new evidence relating to their evolution and patronage, while separate sections are devoted to particularly important and unusual aspects of their iconography.
