17th century French School circle of Nicolas Poussin (French 1594-1665) "Figures in Arcadia" oil on canvas, unframed canvas: 16 x 20 inches provenance: private collection, England condition: very good and sound condition Nicolas Poussin was a renowned French painter of the 17th century. He is considered one of the greatest figures of classical French Baroque art. Poussin was born on June 15, 1594, in Les Andelys, Normandy, France, and he spent a significant portion of his career in Rome, Italy, where he gained recognition and honed his artistic style. Poussin's paintings are characterized by their classical themes, harmonious compositions, and meticulous attention to detail. His works often depicted historical, mythological, and biblical subjects, reflecting his deep interest in ancient Greek and Roman art, literature, and philosophy. Poussin's style emphasizes clarity, order, and intellectual rigor. He focused on creating balanced compositions, using careful use of colors and precise architectural structures to convey a sense of harmony and grandeur. His paintings are known for their restrained emotion and the careful arrangement of figures within the scene. Some of Poussin's most famous works include "Et in Arcadia Ego," "The Rape of the Sabine Women," "The Dance to the Music of Time," and "The Triumph of Pan." His paintings have had a significant influence on subsequent generations of artists, particularly in the fields of history painting and landscape art. Nicolas Poussin's contributions to the art world earned him recognition and admiration during his lifetime and have secured his place as one of the most important painters in Western art history. He died on November 19, 1665, in Rome, leaving behind a lasting legacy of classical artistry and profound artistic achievements.
