Description
This is a reproduction of “Landscape with Man Killed by a Snake” of 1648 by Nicolas Poussin. The paimting is dominated by Fear spreading from the corpse dominating the foreground. The figures around the center are in theatrical poses which communciate movement and drama and the characters appear to have only limited views of each other in the paiinting. It was probably commissioned by Pointel, a Parisian merchant who had made other commissions. 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 118.2 by 197.8 centimeters. It is in the National Gallery in London.
