The "Kasteel Het Steen" in Elewijt ... In his last years Rubens spent the summer months in his country residence, Het Steen, at Elewijt, between Mechelen and Brussels, which he had acquired in August of 1634. There he painted the largest and most luminous landscapes of his entire career; Landscape with Rainbow and Tournament in front of Castle Steen, the latter featuring a wholly imaginary joust. Our meeting was not a joust, but we enjoyed the discussion. This original painting is at the Musée du Louvre, Paris. This photograph, and the commentary, ar from the Web Gallery of Art, a virtual museum and searchable database of European painting and sculpture of the Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, Neoclassicism and Romanticism periods (1100-1850), currently containing over 19.300 reproductions.
