Which Venetian painters influenced Peter Paul Rubens during his time in Italy?

During his sojourn in Italy, which began in 1600, Peter Paul Rubens visited Venice, where he absorbed the luminosity and dramatic expressiveness of the Renaissance masters. Specifically, he was influenced by the works of the following Venetian painters:1

• Titian
• Tintoretto
• Paolo Veronese

Rubens studied these artists to develop his own style, later drawing upon the Venetian tradition—particularly that of Titian and Tintoretto—to enhance the sense of physical power and psychological confrontation in his own work, such as in his 1603 equestrian portrait of the duke of Lerma.12
