Description
Peter Paul RUBENS (1577-1640) after, 18th century school The Triumph of Georges Villiers, First Duke of Buckingham Canvas, enlarged at the top 150 x 110 cm Remake of the painting conserved in Antwerp at the Rubenshuis. George Villiers, first Duke of Buckingham Born into a family of minor nobility, George Villiers (1592-1628) epitomised a meteoric rise through beauty and intelligence. Noticed by James I in 1614, he quickly became his favourite, then that of Charles I. Accumulating titles and riches, he was made Duke of Buckingham in 1623, the most powerful man in England. Magnificent, arrogant and a lavish patron of the arts, he dominated the Court, negotiated the Prince's marriage to Henrietta of France and pursued an ambitious foreign policy. His triumph was that of a man who, through his charm and daring, was able to subdue two kings and dazzle Europe. [RM]
