Diplomacy played a key role during the troubled period of the Thirty Years’ War. Diplomats were chosen for their vital missions from among the social and intellectual elites because of their training and their capability to manage with ease in a hostile environment such as a Prince’s Court. This research focuses on the figure of Peter Paul Rubens, who developed a crucial role in the European political scene even though he was not the archetypal ambassador. This aspect of his career has not been entirely overlooked by historiography, but due its political importance it deserves a deeper review. This essay does not intend to analyze the figure of the painter and diplomat in depth, but to outline –from an updated scholarly approach, based on archival and printed contemporary sources, as well as supplementary bibliography– not only the course of events but also the circumstances in which he conducted his work, the reasons that led him to it and the role his personality played in it.
