The Adoration of the Magi - 1617

Peter Paul Rubens was a seventeenth-century Baroque painter who emphasised on the use of movement, colour and sensuality in his paintings.

Samson and Delilah - 1610

Peter Paul Rubens paintings are:

• Dynamic
• Show an emotional style
• Have rich texture
• Vivid colours
• Lively movement
• Are dramatic
• Portray restless motion

From looking at Peter Paul Rubens paintings I can see that emotion is portrayed throughout his paintings from the use of movement and facial expressions within the characters. For my Autumn/Winter '15-16 Baroque trend I will take inspiration from Peter Paul Rubens paintings and try to display a dramatic approach within my final photographs by having my model in a series of different poses and hard facial expressions.
