The Rubenshuis is the former home and workshop of Peter Paul Rubens in Antwerp. Purchased in 1610, Rubens had the Flemish townhouse renovated and extended on the basis of designs by Rubens himself. After the renovations the house and its courtyard garden had the outlook of an Italian palazzo, which reflected Rubens' artistic ideals; the ensemble is now a museum dedicated to the work of Rubens and his contemporaries. A year after marrying Isabella Brant in 1609, Rubens began construction on an Italian-style villa on the then-Vaartstraat, at the time located at the banks of the canal Herentalse Vaart. Rubens designed the building himself, based on studies of Italian Renaissance palace architecture that formed the basis of his Palazzi di Genova; the layout included studio, a monumental portico and an interior courtyard. The courtyard opens into a Baroque garden that he planned. In the adjacent studio he and his students executed many of the works, he had established a well-organised workshop that met the demands of his active studio, including large commissions from England, France and Bavaria and other locations.

He relied on collaborators for much of the actual work. Rubens himself, guaranteed the quality and finished paintings with his own hand. In a separate private studio he made drawings and small paintings without the assistance of his students and collaborators. Rubens spent most of his lifetime in this building. After his death, his wife Helena Fourment let the building to his wife. After the latter left in 1660, the house was sold. On the World’s Fair Brussels International 1910 there was a real-size reconstruction of the house of P. P. Rubens, built by the architect Henri Blomme; the reconstruction was a romantic interpretation of what the building used to be, full of ornaments, but it promoted the idea to save the building. After his death in 1921, the architect Henri Blomme left an important legacy to the city of Antwerp to buy the house; this happened in 1937. The city bought the house in 1937 and after an extensive restoration the Rubenshuis was opened to the public in 1946. Dozens of paintings and artworks by Rubens and his contemporaries were installed in the rooms, as well as period furniture.

Paintings include his early Adam and Eve and a self portrait made when he was about fifty. The Rubenianum, a centre and archive dedicated to the study of Rubens, is in a building at the rear of the garden.
