Vlieghe, Hans
Saints. 2 volumes

Translated from the Dutch by P. S. Falla.

Among Rubens´s works devoted to religious subjects, the representations of Saints play a very important part. In the present work all Rubens´s paintings, oil sketches and drawings of Saints or episodes from their lives are discussed systematically. The catalogue begins with entries on groups such as All Saints, Apostles, Evangelists and Fathers of the Church, and continues with works representing single Saints, arranged alphabetically. The catalogue raisonné is preceded by an introductory text, in which the author discusses Rubens´s interpretations of hagiographic subjects. Zwei Bände, zus. XII,420 Seiten und 322 Abb. auf Tafeln, gebunden (Corpus Rubenianum Ludwig Burchard; Part VIII/Phaidon Press 1973) defective copies
