	Poussin and the Heroic Landscape
		Poussin was drawn to the theme of the perils of virtue and the injustice of power, for reasons which are not hard to understand given his self-imposed exile and his hard won contempt for the prevailing style of art in both France and Italy.
		Poussin found in Plutarch the story of Phocion, the most virtuous leader the democratic regime of Athens possessed, and who was indefatigable in his efforts to restrain the excessive adventurism of that democratic regime.
		Poussin, an exile himself in Rome, found in this tale a lesson and an inspiration which led to the creation of two of his greatest works.

	poussin
		Poussin schilderde geen pure landschappen tot 1648 toen hij vierenvijftig was, en we kunnen ons afvragen waarom hij, met zijn opvattingen over het inherent moreel karakter van de schilderkunst, het onderwerp eigenlijk wel geprobeerd zou hebben.
		Poussin ging er van uit dat de basis van de landschapschilderkunst in het harmonieuze evenwicht van de horizontale en verticale elementen in zijn ontwerp lag.
		Het was essentiëel voor de ontwerpen van Poussin dat zijn verticalen en horizontalen elkaar onder rechte hoeken sneden: en inderdaad, als een staande lijn een beetje afwijkt van de verticaal, kunnen we er zeker van zijn een andere te vinden die een beetje afwijkt van de horizontaal en er een rechte hoek mee maakt.

	Nicolas Poussin
		Poussin was to art what his contemporary Pierre Corneille became to drama.
		Poussin turns this incident into a tremendous oration on duty and continuity, overlaid with Christian allusions to the entombment of Jesus, whose life that of Germanicus overlapped.
		Poussin's ancient Romans are not the insipid denizens of lesser classical art but men and women of vivid presence; their gestures have dramatic coherence and intensity.

	William Hazlitt's Essay, "On Landscape of Nicholas Poussin."
		Poussin was, of all painters, the most poetical.
		In this respect they form a contrast to Raphael's, whose figures never appear to be sitting for their pictures, or to be conscious of a spectator, or to have come from the painter's hand.
		In Nicolas Poussin, on the contrary, everything seems to have a distinct understanding with the artist; 'the very stones prate of their whereabout'; each object has its part and place assigned, and is in a sort of compact with the rest of the picture.

	Neoclassicism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		David's Oath of the Horatii was painted in Rome and made a splash at the Paris Salon of 1784.
		Its central perspective is perpendicular to the picture plane, made more emphatic by the dim arcade behind, against which the heroic figures are disposed as in a frieze, with a hint of the artificial lighting and staging of opera, and the classical coloring of Nicholas Poussin.
		In sculpture, the most familiar representatives are the Italian Antonio Canova, the Englishman John Flaxman and the Dane Bertel Thorvaldsen.

		This landscape, acquired by the museum in 1768, was one of Poussin's favorite subjects and serves to underline the widely held opinion that Poussin was a greater artist in his drawings than in his paintings.
		Poussin left his home and went to Rouen and then Rome where at first he lived in utter poverty and became ill as he strived to be a success.
		Poussin's achievements were noticed by the King's powerful minister Cardinal Richelieu, who commissioned him to do work for the Grande Galerie of the Louvre palace.

		Nicolas Poussin (1594-1665) was undoubtedly the highest example of the baroque classicist tradition.
		Poussin abandoned religious themes and focussed himself almost exclusively on interpretation of the ancient myths.
		Poussin painted this canvas during his first years in Rome, between 1631 and 1633, using in it the same composition and the same theme as found in a fresco work by Raphael in the Vatican.

		The latest exhibition at the Museum of Fine Arts is just that: drawings by Nicholas Poussin (1594-1665), considered to be the founder of the 17th century French classical movement in art.
		Poussin focused throughout his career on capturing idealized human emotion in his paintings.
		The exhibition is incomplete in its scope of Poussin's work and doesn't really add much to the way one looks at his paintings.

	Legion of Honor pays homage to Flemish painter Sweerts
		Poussin (1594-1665) and Sweerts apparently lived for a time in the same neighborhood of Rome.
		Sweerts mastered Poussin's manner of articulating areas of deep shadow in a scene with an illusionary blush of warm reflected light.
		The Catholic Sweerts might have intended the severe architecture and strict perspective space of his "Plague" to evoke the indifference of a pagan universe to the suffering of the afflicted, the dead and aggrieved in the foreground.

	Nicolas Poussin (Getty Museum)

		In 1640 Louis XIII persuaded him to supervise a large decorative project in Paris, but Poussin soon returned to Rome, suited neither for large projects nor for court intrigue and competition.
		Poussin was the chief formulator of the French classical tradition in painting.

		Poussin's abstraction, set forth in the artist's writings, was utilized to present a clear representation of his intent.
		The remaining figures exist on different planes so that we are able to read their actions individually, with clarity and without distracting from the central players.
		This division, called a golden section, was a popular motif in the Renaissance and Poussin used it effectively to create clarity.

	On the Arcadian Theme (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		"Et in Arcadia" is Nicolas Poussin's elegiac meditation on a Latin phrase found in Virgil's fifth eclogue that translates literally as "Even in Arcady, there am I," or "Death is even in Arcady," but has been interpreted in various ways through the ages.
		Erwin Panofsky treats the phrase, and Poussin's possible interpretation, in depth in his "Meaning and the Visual Arts." The inscription is discovered on a tomb by a group of shepherds and absorbs them in contemplation of the idea of mortality, a concept they seem to understand with Stoic resignation
		Death is not in Arcadia, because the wasteland of Arcadia, like the subconscious, like the moon, like cyberspace, is the realm of the imagination, where all things are possible.

	Poussin's Humour: Shadow of a Shepherd
		This note is part of a necessary clearing of the ground, prior to a discussion of the shepherds in Arcadia in Poussin’s painting in the Louvre.
		Of course, Poussin’s art, not so much as he himself would have thought it, but as it was theorized by the French Academy, is central to this mocking of painting’s claim to be comprehensible as narrative meaning.
		It would be asking too much of a painter, even of Poussin, to show in the one picture that this figure was intent on the inscription as well as aware of his own cast shadow.

		In fact, he turned Poussin's reputation around, with his image of the French artist as a philosopher-painter—as a Stoic like himself.
		In his politics as in his claims for Poussin's Stoicism, he was to have no room for the authority of religion.
		Poussin himself, with the Baroque's lushest blues and golden yellows sets out the tricks.

	Humanist Art Review ~ index
		If art represents life and at the base the thing that mystifies us most is the incessant moral struggle within our own spirituality, then one could surmise that art and its appreciation, insomuch as this act is edifying, ought to help us unburden and assuage.
		Obviously Poussin was a painter with a superb pictorial technique and this aspect can be appreciated for itself but it is the universality of his subject matter presented "factually", thus objectively, that engages the connective tissue between the eye and the mind in a compelling way.
		If the fundamental task of the artist is to enlighten, not just one's mind but one's spirit, then Nicholas Poussin has, across the divide of these hundreds of years, done me great service.

	Pannini: River God
		Nicholas Poussin, the greatest painter of the 17th century, lived and worked in Italy most of his life.
		In Poussin the river god represents all that exists before and after narrative, before and after all experiences individual shepherds in Arcadia have with love and death.
		But as Pannini revises Poussin, the river god now seems to flow with the power of emptiness, erasure, silence, the decay of all prophecy except the prophecy of ruins.

	On Poussin, History, and Prophecy (1) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Oscar Bätschmann, in Nicolas Poussin: Dialectics of Painting (London: Reaktion Books, 1990), traces the history of the iconography of the figure of history (see detail to right).
		Perhaps this shrouded figure is here to reinforce the paradox of God's light being encoded into a shadowed page: the Word is writ on a page, darkly, and all interpretations are a darkened reflection of this shadowed text.
		Such an interpretation in Poussin's frontispiece casts a shadow over the entire Biblia Sacra that his illustration is supposed to introduce.
