Paperback, 80 pages, ENG, 210 x 145 mm, New, illustrated in colour / b/w. Phoebus Focus 24 ISBN 9789464366129. Servius Sulpicius Galba was a Roman emperor who overthrew and succeeded Nero during the Year of the Four Emperors, 68-69 AD. In this ?Phoebus Focus? Nils B ttner places the extraordinary emperor portrait that Peter Paul Rubens (1577-1640) painted of him in its context. B ttner does not only whisks the reader off to first-century Rome, he also makes an analysis of Rubens? support medium and painting method, his fascination with Antiquity, his sources of inspiration and many inventions. In addition, B ttner elaborates on the long tradition of painting portraits of rulers and their integration in Baroque interiors.
