Rubens
Picturing Antiquity
Edited by Anne T. Woollett, Davide Gasparotto,
and Jeffrey Spier
“ The mythical Gorgon Medusa petrified the
flesh and blood of those who beheld her.
Rubens reversed the metamorphosis. He
transformed the ancient sculptures that stood
at the center of his art from stone back into
flesh and blood. This exhibition and its cata-
logue display and explain that powerful pro-
cess of artistic creation, presenting it vividly
and lucidly to visitors and readers alike.”

and Architecture, Brown University
