One of Rubens' greatest gifts as a painter is to be found on the cover of this notebook: his ability to create images of a joyful way of being in the world related to love and inspired by ancient literature and Renaissance art. In the case of the latter, this means primarily Titian. The work is one of the masterpieces by the flemish artist, The Garden of Love (1630-1635).
