Rubenism
Tendency in French painting of late 17th century. Fans of Rubens and Tiziano, Rubenistes conflict in the Academy with the so-called Pusenistes. Their basic position was that the color is the most important element in painting, as it allows the artist to achieve a more perfect version of reality. On the other hand, Pusenistes, led by Lebrun and strongly influenced by Poussin and Karachi, argued that the color had only a decorative value and less importance from the project and the line, which satisfy the mind, and not the senses. In the early years of 18th century, Roumpenistes prevailed, thus paving the way for Vato and Rococo.
