How Nicolas Poussin transformed landscapes into poetic meditations on time
In short: Explore the influential landscapes of Nicolas Poussin, a master whose structured visions of nature inspired legendary artists from Constable to Cézanne. This talk examines how he viewed the world through the lens of time.
The video features a curatorial discussion by Keith Christiansen and Jayne Wrightsman regarding Poussin's artistic evolution. It explores how his work shifted from lyrical, Venetian-inspired pastorals to grand, austere compositions focused on the transformations and renewals of the natural world. This exhibition, the first of its kind for the painter, showcases approximately forty paintings and an equal number of drawings, including luminous en plein air sketches.
