The Lyrics
Rubens, part of the Low Countries crew
painting with a luminescent hue.
They’re working in the 17th century;
from their ateliers came painting plenty.
The place excelled artistically. Joining with Rubens:
Vermeer, Hals, and Rembrandt too;
their work was exciting, fresh, and new.
In many museums today you see
their work and you enjoy the artistry…
it will likely make your whole day complete, the
viewing of Rubens and retinue;
the brushwork will surely get to you…
oil on gesso.
When he painted, Baroque style was in play;
his works cataloged by Michael Jaffé—
1400-plus pieces on display
in Jaffé’s library; that number’s high, very!
Rubens lived to age of 62;
maybe his pix get a fix on you.
Oh, I hope so.
Rubens got much from brush.
