Crucifixion of Saint Peter by Rubens, the

'The Crucifixion of Saint Peter' still hangs today in the location for which it was created, in the parish church of St. Peter in Cologne. Thanks to the beneficence of the merchant Eberhard III Jabach and his wife, Anna Reuter, the painter from Antwerp produced this final, very personal picture. Rubens’s work is being honoured for the first time with a monographic study that brings together insights from history, iconography, arthistorical context and the work technique.Until today, The Crucifixion of Saint Peter continues to be shown in the location for which it was created. The occasion for an in-depth inter-disciplinary engagement with this work was an examination of its condition, which led to the current examinations and the restoration of the work.
