Pieter Paul Rubens (1577-1640), one of the Baroque masters, is probably most well-known for his portraits of voluptuous half-nude women. During his life, he and his pupils produced around 2000 paintings and some of the most innovative material of his time. You can see many fine examples of his paintings and pen drawings in this museum that is situated in the luxurious house where he once lived.
