Mannentorso c. 17th century

"Mannentorso" is a study of a male torso by Peter Paul Rubens, created in the 17th century. This oil painting showcases Rubens's masterful use of brushstrokes and his signature bold and fleshy figures. The male subject, a classical study, is portrayed in profile, emphasizing his muscular physique and dynamic pose. This work, though a study, demonstrates Rubens's profound understanding of human anatomy and his ability to capture the essence of strength and vitality in his subjects.
