PETER PAUL RUBENS (1577-1640). FLEMISH PAINTER.. Peter Paul Rubens (Siegen, 1577-Antwerp, 1640). Flemish painter. "The Defenders of the Eucharist", ca. 1625. Around 1622-1625 the Infanta Isabel Clara Eugenia commissioned Rubens to design twenty tapestries for the Convent of the Descalzas Reales in Madrid.
