Rubens paintings are popular for their religious themes.
As such, his artwork included saints and angel drawings. Rubens changed northern European painting by incorporating the realistic tradition of Flemish painting with the imaginative freedom and classical themes of Italian Renaissance. Religion was important in Rubens' career.
By the age of 21 he was a master painter whose outlook on religion led him to Italy to complete his education. Rubens fell under the spell of the artwork of Titian, whose artwork had an influence on his style. He also spent time in Rome, where he painted altar pieces for churches.
Rubens' work encompassed the execution of a large body of artwork that spanned all areas of painting and drawing.
During his final years, Rubens' artwork was more of portraits, genre scenes, and landscapes. Others may say that these lacked the drama of his earlier pieces but they nevertheless convey Rubens' attention to detail and technical skill.
