- This is a revision of the author's 1965 dissertation presented at Harvard University. The catalogue raisonné lists Rubens' oil sketches and finished paintings for the Torre de la Parada hunting lodge outside of Madrid; lost works are included. The Addenda list works by Rubens (or copies by Mazo) of mythological scenes that the author rejects as being part of the Torre de la Parada series.
The Appendices include the payment records and inventories of the Torre de la Parada from 1700, 1747 and 1794. There are also indices of collections, subjects, other works by Rubens cited in the text, and names & places.
This volume is available through the Corpus Rubenianum Website as a downloadable PDF file (see Full Text link below).
