Matthew Collings examines the work and legacy of Rubens, a man who was a diplomat as well as an artist who painted propaganda for the Catholic Church and for royalty. His most famous diplomatic mission was in 1629 when 'he travelled into the heart of the evil empire - England' and after nine months of wrangling with the English king managed to secure an agreement between England and Spain for world peace.
