"Rubens, His Wife Helena Fourment, and Their Son Frans" is a painting by the Flemish Baroque artist Peter Paul Rubens. This work is a family portrait that depicts Rubens alongside his second wife, Helena Fourment, and their son Frans. It is believed to have been painted around 1635, during the later years of Rubens's life, when he was living in Antwerp.

The painting is notable for its intimate and personal nature, showcasing Rubens not only as an artist but also as a husband and father. Helena Fourment, who was Rubens's second wife, married him in 1630 when she was 16 years old, and he was 53. She became a frequent subject in his works, often portrayed with a sense of warmth and affection. In this particular painting, she is depicted alongside their son Frans, who was one of the couple's five children.

Rubens's style in this work reflects his mastery of Baroque techniques, including the use of rich colors, dynamic composition, and a focus on naturalistic details. The figures are rendered with a sense of vitality and tenderness, emphasizing the familial bond between them. The clothing and accessories in the painting also highlight the wealth and status of the Rubens family during this period.

The painting is considered an example of Rubens's ability to combine his artistic skill with his personal life, creating works that are both technically accomplished and emotionally resonant. It is housed in the Alte Pinakothek in Munich, Germany, where it remains an important part of the museum's collection.

This portrait is one of several works by Rubens that feature Helena Fourment and their children, underscoring the central role his family played in his life and art. The painting serves as a testament to Rubens's dual identity as both a celebrated artist and a devoted family man.
