Workshop of Peter Paul Rubens

The workshop of Peter Paul Rubens was one of the most important centers of artistic production in European Baroque painting, operating in Antwerp, in the Southern Netherlands, during the first half of the 17th century. Directed by the Flemish painter Peter Paul Rubens (1577–1640), it brought together specialized artists who collaborated on religious, mythological, and historical paintings. Many of these works were based on compositions created by the master but executed partially or entirely by his assistants. The identity of the painter responsible for this depiction of the Virgin and Child remains unknown.
