One of the greatest artists of his time, Nicolas Poussin spent virtually all of his working life in Rome, where he painted for a small circle of patrons who collected his works.
Through the study of certain paintings, this book reveals Poussin’s method of painting, but also shares in the life of the artist, admitting readers into the private life of the painter-philosopher who left behind an admirable oeuvre that is often a great source of learning.
