"A contribution to Rubens studies which will be of lasting value."---Oliver Millar, The Times Literary Supplement

"[Muller] fully and effectively combines the techniques of the social historian, the intellectual historian, and the art historian in order to examine the cultural assumptions and achievements of the period. . . . That the story of Rubens as a collector can . . . cover so many aspects of the culture of seventeenth-century Europe is vivid testimony to the efficacy of Muller's integration of the techniques and interests of the historian and the art historian."---Theodore K. Rabb, Journal of Interdisciplinary History
