RUBENS, by WASHINGTON ALLSTON Poet's Biography First Line: Thus o'er his art indignant rubens reared Last Line: Back from the shore impels the watery waste. Subject(s): Rubens, Peter Paul (1577-1640) | ||||||||
Thus o'er his art indignant Rubens reared His mighty head, nor critic armies feared. His lawless style, from vain pretension free, Impetuous rolling like a troubled sea, High o'er the rocks of Reason's ridgy verge Impending hangs; but, ere the foaming surge Breaks o'er the bound, the under-ebb of taste Back from the shore impels the watery waste. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TO ENGLISH CONNOISSEURS by WILLIAM BLAKE ON THE LUXEMBOURG GALLERY by WASHINGTON ALLSTON MY HAND PLACED ON A RUBENS DRAWING: 1 by FRED CHAPPELL MY HAND PLACED ON A RUBENS DRAWING: 2.
