"The Duke of Buckingham c. 1625" is a notable portrait painting by the Flemish artist Peter Paul Rubens, depicting George Villiers, the 1st Duke of Buckingham. As one of the most influential courtiers in the early 17th century English court, Buckingham was a favorite of King James I and a significant patron of the arts. Rubens, renowned for his exuberant Baroque style and mastery of color and composition, was among the most prominent painters of his time and served as a diplomat as well as a court painter to various European monarchs.

The portrait is believed to have been painted around 1625, during a period when Rubens was actively engaged in both artistic and diplomatic missions between England and the Spanish Netherlands. It captures Buckingham in a grandiose manner typical of Rubens' portraiture, imbued with the dynamism and psychological insight for which the artist is celebrated. The Duke is portrayed with the opulent attire and confident demeanor befitting his status, set against a backdrop that enhances his noble bearing.

This work is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical context, as it represents a figure who played a pivotal role in the political and cultural landscape of the time. The painting is an exemplar of Rubens' ability to blend portraiture with allegorical and symbolic elements, a technique that contributed to the rich narrative quality of his work.
