EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print showcases the "Epitaph of Nikols Rockox and his wife Adriana Perez" painted by Peter Paul Rubens in 1513-15. This oil on panel masterpiece, measuring 146x233 cm, is housed in the Koninklijk Museum voor Schone Kunsten in Antwerp, Belgium. Commissioned by Nicholas Rockox (1560-1640) and his beloved wife Adriana Perez (+1619), this triptych epitaph serves as a poignant memorial to their lives. The couple's half-length portraits are depicted with utmost devotion and spirituality. Adriana wears a fur collar while holding rosary beads, symbolizing her unwavering faith. Intriguingly, Rubens portrays Nikolaas Rockox with wounds resembling those of Jesus Christ - the stigmata. This connection between husband and savior signifies their shared religious devotion and belief in resurrection. The composition also includes biblical figures such as Doubting Thomas and other apostles surrounding the resurrected Christ. Through this inclusion, Rubens pays homage to Northern Renaissance art traditions that emphasized biblical themes. Rubens' mastery of Baroque style is evident through his meticulous attention to detail and use of vibrant colors. His portrayal captures both the physical likeness of the couple as well as their inner spiritual essence. This remarkable artwork stands as a testament to love, faith, and remembrance within Flemish art history. Peter Paul Rubens solidifies his position as one of the greatest painters during this period with his skillful execution of biblical characters intertwined with real-life subjects like Nikolaas Rockox and Adriana Perez
