Zsolt von Harsányi was a prominent Hungarian novelist, playwright, and translator known for his historical novels and biographical works. His writing often combines rich historical detail with compelling narratives, bringing historical figures to life for readers. Rubens himself was Flemish and lived in the Spanish Netherlands (modern-day Belgium), which was distinct from the Dutch Republic to the north. Der Lebensroman des Peter Paul Rubens, Buch 1 - 3, is set during the Dutch Golden Age, but with a broader focus on 17th-century Europe.
