Rediscovered Etching Believed to Be a Rubens
Published: June 22, 2009
The work in question was inspired by Leonard da Vinci’s “Last Supper” and was brought to light when a psychologist who inherited it had it evaluated. Rubens spent several years in Italy, where he studied Greek and Roman art. He often commissioned printmakers to create engravings and woodcuts of his own works, but is believed to have made only a few etchings himself. |
