Book Description

Excerpt from Nicolas Poussin His Life and Work The object of this monograph is to furnish a more complete account of the life and work of Nicolas Poussin than can be found in lexicons or the histories of art. No book about this painter existed in the German language before the appearance of a translation of the present work by the author; and Maria Graham's Memoirs of the Life of Nicholas Poussin, published in London in 1820, has hitherto been the only authority on this subject in English. The literature relating to the work of this master, which appeared in France in the first half of the present century, and before 1860, is voluminous, but inadequate to meet the wants of students of to-day. In such a study, the first teachers and the first works of this painter call for special attention. The account here given of Quentin Varin has been taken from papers delivered by the Abbe Requin and M. Jules Boulanger before societies in Avignon and Picardy, as well as from Ph. de Pointel's Peintres provinciaux de I'ancienne France, Paris, 1847-A liberal use has been made of the Poussin autograph-letters, preserved in the Bibliotheque Nationale at Paris, in order to gain a better acquaintance with the man himself.

Book Description

The seventeenth century painter Nicolas Poussin founded the French Classical tradition, working the majority of his career in Rome. He specialised in history paintings, depicting scenes from the Bible, ancient history, and mythology, which are notable for their narrative clarity and dramatic force. Poussin was a man of contrasts; sensual, yet austere and intellectual, prizing reason, order and dispassion above all else. His art is a reconciliation and synthesis of these traits, setting an example of what would become the standard for a long tradition of academic art, continuing until the end of the nineteenth century. His influence was far-reaching, winning the approval of the Neoclassical masters, the Post-Impressionists and even modernists like Pablo Picasso.
