SYMPOSIUM ON PETER PAUL RUBENS’S TRIUMPH OF THE EUCHARIST SERIES

Around 1625, Archduchess

Isabella Clara Eugenia (1566–1633), daughter of King Philip II of Spain and regent of the Spanish Netherlands, commissioned a sumptuous series of twenty tapestries from her court painter and advisor, Peter Paul Rubens (1577–1640). Conceived as a gift for the Convent of the Descalzas Reales in Madrid, the tapestries represent the Triumph of the Eucharist, expounding on and extolling this fundamental tenet of Counter-Reformation faith. Thirty years have passed since the publication of the magisterial Corpus Rubenianum volume on the Eucharist series; the time is ripe for new research and perspectives.

Join us from March 30–March 31, for a 2-day symposium held in conjunction with the exhibition Peter Paul Rubens: Impressions of a Master. Please contact Barbara Hyde, Adult Learning Coordinator (Barbara.hyde@ringling.org) for further information.
