THE XNO0. 3. HELENA FOURMENT, BY WIFE “Learn One Thing Every Day.” Copyright, 1913, by The Mentor Association, Inc. ten travelling on political missions. | The extraordinary beauty of Hel- ema Fourment won for her the love of a world famous painter when she was only sixteen years old. Peter Paul Rubens, married this girl, and “ immortalized her charms on many a precious canvas. It was a most fortunate match. Helena was not only beautiful; she had also every attraction of nature and education, and belonged to a wealthy family. Rubens was a wid- ower, and one of the most celebrated painters in Europe. More than that, he was a distinguished and success- " tul statesman. Fortunate throughout his life, bril- MHant, handsome, and of good family, Rubens was never in doubt of his future. His talent for painting showed itself in boyhood. At the age . of twenty-three he went to Italy, ‘where he soon attracted the notice of the Duke of Mantua. Partly as art expert, partly as diplomat, he went in the Duke’s service to all the im- partant cities of Italy. He spent eight years in that country, sometimes IN ART PETER PAUL RUBENS. Recalled to Antwerp by the serious illness of his mother in 1608, Ru- bens arrived too late to see her alive, |§ and, no doubt feeling the strength of home ties, resigned from the service of the duke immediately. High posi- | § tions and great honors awaited him in his native city. His fame grew year by year. Isabella Brandt became his wife in 1608. She is described as a rather heavy Flemish woman, and her face and figure appear frequently in Ru- | i@ bens’ work of that period. After her death and before his second marriage.| & he was called upon to arrange terms of peace between England and Spain. It was the most important event of his life. In Spain he met Velasquez and earned the friendship of King | 3§ Philip. He was honored in England by Charles I., with a string of valuable diamonds in appreciation of his services. The painter also strengthened a friend- ship already Duke of Buckingham. After the successes abroad Rubens retired to a home in the country, de- voting himself more than ever to the work of painting. An alchemist went to him one day, claiming to have dis- covered the philosopher’s stone, which turned everything it touched into gold. “But,” objected Tubens, “I have discovered it myself.” ' “The philesopher’s claimed his visitor. stone?” ex- “Yes, and you shall see it,” an- 3 swered the palnter. Leading the astonished guest into | : his studio, Rubens showed his pal- ette. Helena Fourment was still young when Rubens died. She did not re- main long in widowhood; but married the Count of Bergeyck, with whom, 80 far as i8 known, she lived in painting for his patron, but more of- peace and happiness.
