Post by: Lizzie Zoom on 18 March 2017, 18:40:13

Really chuffed.  I have also found a winning body shop judging by the standard of this repair :y :y

It does, although I would have got rid of that number plate with EU flag on it while I was there.  :)

Was Rubens fond of this colour or is it totally unrelated?

As far as I am aware his use of this particular shade of red in many of his works was noted by other artists who gave it the name "Rubens Red".  Red was always a popular colour in painting for hundreds of years, but Rubens gave his shade special importance. ;)

But is it the same shade of red as used on your car, Lizzie?

Artistic licence perhaps. :y :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*

Of course it's the very same shade - Rubens painted it for her himself!  8)

I believe Mr Rubens was partial to painting big bosomy women, Ron. :)
