*‘The third important painter active in Rome during the first decade was the Flemish artist Peter Paul Rubens, who became a court painter to the Duke of Mantua in 1600[ce].

[Rubens] came under the influence of Raphael and Titian, as well as that of Caravaggio, during a journey to Spain in 1603[ce]. The rich colours and strong dramatic chiaroscuro of his altarpieces for Sta. Maria in Vallicella (Chieso Nuova), Rome (1606-07[ce]), reveal his contribution to the evolution of Italian Baroque painting.’
