Peter Paul Rubens Quotations
A
painting, if the light is
just so, can turn into a
luminescent inferno which
may reveal for just a moment
the soul of the artist . ~
Peter Paul Rubens
I paint a woman's big
rounded buttocks so that I
want to reach out and stroke
the dimpled flesh. ~ Peter
Paul Rubens
Each morning I shoo the
beggars and cripples from my
door stoop. If God wish for
these sly vermin to eat
surely he will provide them
with substance.. ~ Peter
Paul Rubens
Every child has the spirit
of creation. The rubbish of
life often exterminates the
spirit through plague and a
souls own wretchedness. ~
Peter Paul Rubens
I'm just a simple man
standing alone with my old
brushes, asking God for
inspiration.~ Peter Paul
Rubens
My passion comes from the
heavens, not from earthly
musings. ~ Peter Paul Rubens
Painting a young maiden is
similar to cavorting with
great abandon. It is the
finest refreshment. ~ Peter
Paul Rubens
