1620 Activities Dressed Rattle Sons Suitable Typical Wonderfully

EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, hailing from the Mary Evans Picture Library, transports us back to the early 17th century and into the elegant world of Peter Paul Rubens' household. The painting, titled "Rubens Sons CA 1620," showcases two of the renowned artist's sons, dressed in exquisitely ornate clothing that would be more commonly associated with the adult elite of the time. The older boy, likely Jan Rubens, is engrossed in a book, his brow furrowed in concentration as he delves into its pages. His attire, a rich velvet doublet and breeches, adorned with intricate gold lace and embroidery, is a testament to the wealth and status of his family. His younger brother, perhaps Pieter Paul Rubens Jr., holds a rattle in his hand, a simple yet charming toy that contrasts with the boys' otherwise formal attire. The image offers a fascinating glimpse into the daily life of the Rubens family and challenges our preconceived notions of what children's activities and clothing looked like during this period. While boys were often depicted in more rugged, practical clothing, the Rubens boys are dressed in clothing more suitable for leisurely pursuits such as reading or playing with toys. This painting serves as a reminder that even in the most opulent of households, children were still cherished members of the family deserving of love and attention. The painting, believed to have been created around 1620, is a beautiful example of the Dutch Baroque style and a testament to the artistic prowess of Peter Paul Rubens and his impact on European art history. This image invites us to explore the rich history of the past and to appreciate the beauty and complexity of daily life during this fascinating era.
