The Museum of Fine Arts of Valencia presents the exhibition "Rubens. The Flowering of a Genius", exploring the Baroque master's career with works from the Prado and Albertina.

The Museum of Fine Arts of Valencia is hosting the exhibition "Rubens. The Flowering of a Genius" from July 2nd to October 4th, 2026. This production traces the training and talent of Peter Paul Rubens, one of the most influential painters of the European Baroque.
The exhibition invites a journey to late 16th-century Antwerp, detailing the artist's formative years, his early influences, and the crucial period in Italy that shaped his style and made him a benchmark for the great European courts.
Key highlights include little-known oil sketches from his Roman period and the reconstruction of lost canvases. These pieces are displayed alongside others from renowned international collections such as the Prado Museum, the Albertina in Vienna, and the Ducal Palace of Mantua.
