In the year 2020, a hitherto unpublished group of 17 drawings and counterproofs by Van Diepenbeeck from this commission arose in the collections of the Rubenianum in Antwerp. This thesis explores the enterprise, with special attention to this set of 17 drawings and counterproofs. Moreover, it analyses the use that Rubens made of these drawn copies, back in his Antwerp workshop, as fundamental sources of inspiration for his future artworks.Show less

Elitists in the Indonesian government openly fight the morally supported KPK anticorruption body.Show less
