Peter Paul Rubens was born on the 28th June, 1577.
“My passion comes from the heavens,” said Rubens, “not from earthly musings.”
In Rubens world men could be men and women could be women.
There’s desire. There’s the chase. There is fun.
Now, in 2023, that human reality gets confused with crime. Our deep connection, in what we traditional adults are and can be, is too often lost.
But life is beautiful.
God made us to couple and to love.
Chunky women need love too.
And from him, they got it. The guy dipped his brush in testosterone. He was a superb artist in every other way. A great deal of his stuff ended up in the Prado, and it’s worth a visit for that reason alone.
Of course the Prado is an essential place to visit for all sorts of reasons. Allow at least 6 hours, and probably several days.
There are several other Rubens in Madrid, at the Real Academia, the Thyssen, the Descalzas Reales (often missed, dont), etc.
I don’t see the connection between the title of your post (Rubens - A Man Who Loved Women Who Could Fully Love Men - What We Still Need) and the content of your article.
Care to expound?
“..I know you are, but what am I?..”
All that and he created a pretty decent sandwich as well.
