Own a museum-quality print of Peter Paul Rubens’ Saint Clare of Assisi (Heilige Clara van Assisi), painted around 1620 and housed in the Rubenshuis, Antwerp. This luminous Baroque painting honours Saint Clare of Assisi, the devoted follower of Saint Francis and founder of the Poor Clares. Rubens depicts Saint Clare with serene dignity, often shown holding a monstrance or pyx, symbolising her legendary defence of her convent with the Blessed Sacrament. The composition features rich, warm tones and dynamic brushwork, hallmarks of Rubens’ mature style. The saint’s contemplative expression and gentle gesture evoke themes of faith, humility, and spiritual strength. This work exemplifies Rubens’ ability to combine dramatic Baroque energy with deep religious reverence, making it a cherished masterpiece for collectors and admirers of Flemish art.
