About the piece
Painted around 1630, this masterpiece by Peter Paul Rubens captures his second wife, Helena Fourment, in an opulent wedding ensemble. The work showcases Rubens' signature mastery of light and texture, from the delicate transparency of the lace ruff to the heavy, shimmering weight of the gold-embroidered silk and velvet.
