the Fleming,thetwo greatest storytellers this old earth of ours has everborne Homer and Rubens.\"  \nWith these words,Jacob Burckhardt,himself oldand great,ended his last book,the printing of whichhe never saw.He had called it Erinnerungen ausRubens(Recollections of Rubens)—grateful remem-brances of over ffty years of friendship.Rubens,onemight think,should have been the last artist to fas-  \ncinate the author of The Civilization of the Renais-sance in Italy and of other works on the culture ofthe Mediterranean world.By what magic,we mayask,did the sensuous Fleming charm the sober Swissscholar of the nineteenth century?What hold hadthe most prominent artistic representative of theCatholic Counter-Reformation over the heir of Cal-vinist severity?What attractions were offered by thepainter of Baroque exuberance to the classicist forwhom the Greeks and their Italian pupils of theRenaissance had formulated the ideal of beauty onceand for all?  \nThose who see in Rubens no more than a painterof amply proportioned women and swaggering men,or a facile decorator of immense spaces in Baroquepalaces and churches,will never understand how thechasm between the two worlds could ever have beenbridged.Only he who penetrates Rubens'world moredeeply will find the answers to these questions.Hewill find that Rubens himself combined extremes inhis own personality as well as in his art.He was aman of boundless vitality,yet at the same time usedto strictest self-discipline.He moved with ease in thehighest social circles,but he was also deeply attachedto his Flemish earth and to the comforts of middle-class domesticity.He was a patriot who saw beyondthe narrow limits of his own country,a statesmanactive in public affairs,yet at the same time a scholarthoroughly acquainted with the cultural traditionsof the West.  \nHis art,too,encompasses apparently opposite ele-ments.For centuries he has been hailed as one of thegreatest colorists,which he surely was;yet close
