PETER PAUL RUBENS, Arrival of Marie de’ Medici at Marseilles 1622–1625. Oil on canvas, 12’ 11 1/2” x 9’ 7”. Louvre, Paris.
This painting stood out to me because of the regal manner in which Rubens depicts Marie de Medici. She looks like she has an impact on everyone present and seems to immediately cause a commotion. Her power and influence is apparent with the blowing of horns and the gaping mouths. The reaction is visually visceral in a regal and beautiful perspective.
