About this event

A free screening for the National Gallery of Ireland's Thursday Lates event to mark the upcoming 450th anniversary of the birth of Peter Paul Rubens.

Paul Haessaerts and Henri Storck's award-winning film Rubens (1948) was more than a formal analysis of Rubens' oeuvre. Through imaginative use of cinematographic techniques, this film brings Rubens' pictorial world to life with often striking comparisons with real-life imagery. Using split screens, Rubens' fluid and natural style is systematically compared to the works of Flemish painters such as Dieric Bouts and Jan Van Eyck.

Free, no booking required.

This Thursday Lates event is a part of the Dublin by Dusk initiative in support of the Night-Time Economy After Hours at the Museum scheme.
