		Nicolas Poussin (15 June 1594–November 19, 1665) was a French painter, the founder and greatest practitioner of 17th century French classical painting.
		In 1643, disgusted by the intrigues of Simon Vouet, Fouquières and the architect Jacques Lemercier, Poussin withdrew to Rome.
		Poussin was stumbling after Caravaggio while Cézanne was haunted by the demon of a powerful sexuality later sublimated; but both discovered the "clarity, order, and rigor" which personalities such as theirs have to adopt as a second nature.

		Poussin was born in a small hamlet on the Seine River, the son of small farmers.
		Poussin's painterly style was consciously calculated to express such a mood of austere rectitude: such solemn religious works as Holy Family on the Steps (1648) exhibit only a few figures, painted in harsh colours against the severest possible background.
		In the landscapes Poussin began painting at this time, such as Landscape with the Body of Phocion Carried out of Athens (1648) and Landscape with Polyphemus (1649), the disorder of nature is reduced to the order of geometry, and the forms of trees and shrubs are made to approach the condition of architecture.

		Poussin was of peasant extraction, born near Les Andelys, Normandy (Normandie), in June 1594.
		Poussin journeyed to Paris in 1640 with some reluctance, although the trip earned him the enduring patronage of wealthy bourgeois collectors and also cemented his relations with the French Académie Royale, which later elevated his style to the status of formal doctrine.
		Poussin's belief that art should appeal to the mind rather than to the eye—that it should present the most noble and serious human situations in an orderly manner devoid of trivial detail or sensuous allure—became the basis of the French academic style of the 17th century.

	The “High Art” of Nicolas Poussin by Karen Wilkin
		Poussin is a classicist for whom the aesthetic values of antiquity represent not only a formal ideal but also a moral imperative, a way of conceiving of form that cannot be separated from the good and the true.
		Poussin’s early paintings, such as the ravishing Shepherds of Arcadia (Chatsworth), the idyllic Andrians, the seductive Echo and Narcissus (both Musée du Louvre)—in fact, virtually all of the mythological scenes of the late 1620s—owe an enormous debt to the Venetians.
		Poussin seems to have looked carefully, too, at the work of artists closer to his own generation, the Caracci and Domenichino, for example; but whatever his sources, his deep engagement with painting as painting is obvious.

		What Poussin brings to the picture that we would not expect to find in a similar work by Titian is its intimacy (due in part to the small scale) and a very tender poetry.
		Poussin's sight was weakening during the years he produced his late landscapes, and they have an almost pointillist technique, which is particularly well suited to their subject matter.
		Sometimes associated with an uncompromising, almost ascetic formalism, Poussin's art is, in fact, a marriage of poetry and reason, sensibility and intellect, a balance of two aspects of one character.

	Poussin's reflection.(Nicolas Poussin ) - The Art Bulletin - HighBeam Research (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Although Poussin employs the illusionistic means of Caravaggio's glaring shield, in the form of a convex cuirass reflecting a face, Poussin's reflection, for all the intensity of its gaze, does not confront the spectator but, rather, turns its contemplative attitude into the adjacent narrative.
		Poussin's quotation is the point of departure for Louis Marin's probing analysis of the painter's commitment to a constructed pictorial narrative opposed to the illusion of spontaneous mimetic mirroring presence in Caravaggio's works, exemplified in Medusa.
		Dughet made sure that Poussin lacked no diligence of care nor help of any sort, in fact he ordered that his own wife continually assist him in his needs, as much in cooking, as in taking care to keep him clean and provided with linens, which she did with great diligence and love.

	On the Arcadian Theme (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		"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
		It is here in this untroubled land that Nicolas Poussin's shepherds first encounter the solemn reality that all things must pass.
