A two-minute test
Giordano or Rubens?
ArtStudy players mixed these two up 9 times in the last 90 days. One clue is usually all it takes.
Luca Giordano
Giordano was nicknamed Luca fa presto for his speed — airy, pale-toned Neapolitan machines with figures tumbling upward through light, painted with fluent bravura.
Peter Paul Rubens
Rubens is pure Baroque energy — swirling diagonal compositions, fleshy, full-bodied figures in dynamic motion, warm glowing skin, and dramatic, muscular abundance.
Can you tell them apart?
One clue to notice, the two side by side, then three paintings you haven’t seen. No sign-up.
