Nicolas Poussin

By: Blunt, Anthony

A landmark account of the work, thought, and life of the seventeenth-century French painter

In this book, Anthony Blunt presents a rich account of the paintings, life, and development of the great seventeenth-century French classicist Nicolas Poussin (1594-1665), addressing the artist's entire oeuvre alongside his theory of art. Blunt shows why Poussin holds a central place in the great French humanist line that produced Racine, Moli re, Voltaire, the Parnassians, and Mallarm . At the same time, he examines how Poussin looks back to Raphael and ancient Rome, while pointing forward to Ingres, C zanne, the Cubists, and Picasso.
