Description
This is a reproduction of “Hannibal Crossing the Alps” of 1626 by Nicolas Poussin. The painting was one of four produced in Rome between 1660 and 1664, commissioned by Cassiano dal Pozza, a cousin of Poussin’s main sponsor in Rome. This painting depicts the Crossing of the Alps by Hannibal and his elephants during the Second Punic War of Roman History. Poussin was born in Normandy and ran away to Paris when he was eighteen. He moved to Rome when he was thirty in the company of his friend Marino and secured the patronage of the Cardinal Barbarini. He participated in the emerging Roman Baroque style. He returned to France in 1640 and became First Painter to Louis XIII but returned to Rome in disgust at the intrigues of the French Court. He continued to work there but began to decline in health after 1650. He died in Rome in 1664 leaving no children. This masterpiece is an oil on canvas and measures 39.4 by 53.3 inches. It is in a private collection.
