Description
Nicolas Poussin is widely regarded as one of the greatest painters of the French school. However, his reputation has been built more on the intellectual and philosophical qualities of his art than its visual beauty. This book redresses the balance by focusing on the aesthetic aspects of Poussin's work.
Richard Verdi explores Poussin's exceptional gifts as a pictorial storyteller, designer, and colorist, shedding new light on this significant French painter. The book features over 200 illustrations in color, covering all aspects of Poussin's art from the mid-1620s to his death in 1665.
This groundbreaking study will provide valuable insights into Poussin's artistic development and legacy, making it a useful resource for anyone interested in understanding this influential painter.
