Rediscovered Rubens Notebook Page Goes on View for the First Time

A double-sided notebook page by Peter Paul Rubens, dated to September 1607, has gone on public display for the first time at the Rubens Experience in Antwerp. The sheet features a quill-testing squiggle, a sketch of three robed men thought to be apostles, and a draft letter on the reverse to the painter Cristoforo Roncalli. The letter, written on behalf of their patron Eleonora de' Medici, inquires about the progress of a painting for her private chapel. The page was acquired at TEFAF Maastricht by the King Baudouin Foundation for €110,000 ($121,100) and is on long-term loan to the Rubenshuis, where it will remain until renovations are completed around 2030.

The Invincible Spirit of Edmonia Lewis

The Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, Massachusetts, has opened "Edmonia Lewis: Said in Stone," the first major retrospective of the 19th-century sculptor Edmonia Lewis, who was of Black and Indigenous (Mississauga-Tuscarora) descent. The exhibition displays 30 of her Neoclassical white marble sculptures alongside archival materials and works by other artists, organized into four thematic rooms that explore antislavery, Indigenous artistic worlds, her studios in Rome, and religion and mythology. Co-organized with the Georgia Museum of Art, the show emphasizes Lewis's dual heritage without conflating the two identities, featuring extensive text and quotes from the artist herself.
