Rubens, Painter of Sketches Mira Ong Chua By Bernadine Cook & CrockettBy Friso Lammertse, Alejandro Vergara. Published by Museo National Del Prado. Softcover, 148 pages, Colour, 2018 Peter Paul Rubens (1577 1640) is the most important painter of sketches in the history of European art. His Italian and Flemish predecessors had for the most part prepared their paintings by using drawings. Rubens transformed this process by systematically making sketches in colour, with oil paint, and nearly always on panel supports.
