Many European cities claim to be cities of Rubens.They do so either for biographical reasons—because the artist once lived there—or because of the presence of his paintings in their museums’ collections. But since the spring of 2004, when the major works in the Collections of the Prince of Liechtenstein returned to their traditional home,Vienna has been outshining the other Rubens cities, such as Antwerp and Genoa, both in the sheer number and in the importance of its Rubens paintings.
Because of the variety and high quality of their works by Rubens, the great collections of the Kunsthistorisches Museum, the Liechtenstein Museum, and the GemĠldegalerie der Akademie der bildenden Künste are in a position to provide a comprehensive overview of the artist’s career.
