EDITORS COMMENTS
Nicolas Poussin: A Master of the Classical School (1594-1665) This evocative image captures the enigmatic figure of Nicolas Poussin, the renowned French painter who spent the majority of his artistic career in Rome. Known for his mastery of the classical tradition, Poussin's works are characterized by their historical and mythological subjects, which he rendered with exceptional skill and depth. Poussin's dedication to the classical world is evident in this portrait, which depicts him holding a scroll bearing the inscription "Historia," a reference to the Latin word for history. The scroll, along with his moustache and the somber, serious expression on his face, underscores his commitment to the study and representation of history and mythology. Poussin's time in Rome, which began in 1624, was instrumental in shaping his artistic style. He was deeply influenced by the ancient Roman and Greek art that surrounded him, as well as by the works of his contemporaries, such as Peter Paul Rubens and Caravaggio. Despite his European fame, Poussin's works were not limited to the European market. His paintings were also highly sought after in the Ottoman Empire, where they were admired for their historical and mythological themes. This photograph, taken from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the life and work of a master artist who continues to captivate audiences with his timeless depictions of history and mythology.
