Arrival of Marie de' Medici at Marseilles
Peter Paul Rubens was an exquisite artiste in the baroque in northern europe era. He did this painting through an oil on canvas medium, and it can now be found in Musée du Louvre, Paris. This painting shows the arrival of a member of the very prestigious Medici family of that time, In this painting, i find it interesting how all attention is on this very important guest, and also the distinction between the rich and well to do, and the people of lower class. I am convinced the artiste made this distinction by dressing up the people of the former class with elaborate clothing, while those of the later class are dressed in absolutely nothing.
