They alone have four paintings of him. And then of course there is his house not far from the cathedral. Glad to see some European culture has made it across the ocean. :) I have to get you and Casey to Belgium real soon! :)

I love Rubens - he's pretty much my favorite of the old masters. You get the feeling he actually enjoyed painting nudes, unlike some of them. ;^) And the color and movement of Ruben's work is so wonderful - the few times I've gotten to see one in person I just stare at them for a long, long time... Oh, indeed I am.

Thank you for knowing Rubens!! :) Don't forget, those Rubenesque ideals of beauty have lasted for centuries, only to become oppressed by recent (last 50 years) changes in the fashion industry that have led us to where we are now whereas pictures of anorexic women in Milan have to convince us otherwise ... So I'd be honoured to be a sexsymbol throughout the past era's :) Donna! Thank you for knowing Rubens!! :)
