cma-european-art: Portrait of Isabella Brant, Peter Paul Rubens , c. 1620-25, Cleveland Museum of Art: European Painting and SculptureIsabella Brant was Rubens’s first wife. He painted her many times in many different ways before she died at the age of 35 (she is a model for a nymph in the other work by Rubens in this room). This intimate portrait, painted at least five years before her death, suggests the close relationship between the painter and sitter through the warm palette, the luscious brushstrokes, and her lively expression.Size: Framed: 83 x 73.5 x 9 cm (32 11/16 x 28 15/16 x 3 9/16 in.); Unframed: 53 x 46 cm (20 7/8 x 18 1/8 in.)Medium: oil on woodhttps://clevelandart.org/art/1947.207 -- source link
