French painter Nicolas Poussin (1594-1665) spent most of his working life in Rome turning out works that fused the best features of Renaissance painting with influences of antiquity. Poussin was highly prolific and was considered by his contemporaries to be the greatest living painter, a man whose work embodied the ideal of French classical art. Poussin himself stressed logic and clarity in his work, formulating doctrines with the aim of intellectualizing art; in the latter, he succeeded in leaving an influence in art that lasted centuries.

Poussin,
By
This review is from: Nicolas Poussin: 1594-1665 (Basic Art) (Paperback)
Promptly and efficiently dispatched and delivered in time to give to my son when he and my grandchildren came to Ireland to visit us. Poussin is not to my taste very particularly but it was excellent for the purpose.
