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.”
