How Nicolas Poussin transformed the landscape into a poetic meditation on time
In short: Explore the influential landscapes of French master Nicolas Poussin. This video introduces an exhibition examining how he viewed nature through the glass of time, moving from lyrical pastorals to grand, structured compositions.
This exhibition features approximately forty paintings and an equal number of drawings by Nicolas Poussin (1594–1665). The collection traces his artistic evolution from early, Venetian-inspired pastoral scenes to austere, highly structured works. These later pieces reflect his deep meditation on the transformations and renewals of nature. Poussin's unique approach to landscape has left a lasting legacy, influencing diverse artists ranging from Constable and Turner to Cézanne.
