Courtyard and portico

Step into Rubens's world through the main portico, which gives out on to the elegant courtyard. The portico connects the house and studio and also served as a magnificent gateway to the garden.

The studio

Rubens had a well-organised studio with several assistants. They worked in Rubens's style allowing him to complete the many commissions he received on time thanks to them.
