In this session, Lydia Cecil delves into the life and work of Peter Paul Rubens with a mastercopy of his Study of a Seated Woman Turned to the Right. While carefully recreating this piece, she draws connections to many of his other works, exploring his mastery of the Baroque style. Widely regarded as one of the most influential artists of his time, Rubens' dynamic compositions and dramatic use of light and movement shaped the trajectory of Western art. This session offers a deep dive into Rubens’ techniques and artistic legacy.
