Dr. Emma & Me: Parallel Lives - Rubens and Velázquez

Dr. Emma & Me: Parallel Lives - Rubens and Velázquez

This episode is available in video format (highly recommended) on Spotify or YouTube!!

In this episode of Dr. Emma & Me: Parallel Lives, we step into the Baroque brilliance of two of the era’s greatest painters—Peter Paul Rubens and Diego Velázquez with Dr. Alejandro Vergara Sharp. Though born worlds apart, their lives intersected through diplomacy, royal courts, and their unparalleled ability to capture power on canvas.

Rubens, the polished Flemish diplomat-artist, and Velázquez, the introspective Spanish court painter, each navigated the treacherous politics of 17th-century Europe with a brush in hand. How did their work reflect—and shape—their positions in court? What set them apart, and where did their paths cross?
