Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Nicolas Poussin His Life and Work The object of this monograph is to furnish a more complete account of the life and work of Nicolas Poussin than can be found in lexicons or the histories of art. No book about this painter existed in the German language before the appearance of a translation of the present work by the author; and Maria Graham's Memoirs of the Life of Nicholas Poussin, published in London in 1820, has hitherto been the only authority on this subject in English. The literature relating to the work of this master, which appeared in France in the first half of the present century, and before 1860, is voluminous, but inadequate to meet the wants of students of to-day. In such a study, the first teachers and the first works of this painter call for special attention. The account here given of Quentin Varin has been taken from papers delivered by the Abbe Requin and M. Jules Boulanger before societies in Avignon and Picardy, as well as from Ph. de Pointel's Peintres provinciaux de I'ancienne France, Paris, 1847-A liberal use has been made of the Poussin autograph-letters, preserved in the Bibliotheque Nationale at Paris, in order to gain a better acquaintance with the man himself.

This book was released on 2021-03-08 with total page 522 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The seventeenth century painter Nicolas Poussin founded the French Classical tradition, working the majority of his career in Rome. He specialised in history paintings, depicting scenes from the Bible, ancient history, and mythology, which are notable for their narrative clarity and dramatic force. Poussin was a man of contrasts; sensual, yet austere and intellectual, prizing reason, order and dispassion above all else. His art is a reconciliation and synthesis of these traits, setting an example of what would become the standard for a long tradition of academic art, continuing until the end of the nineteenth century. His influence was far-reaching, winning the approval of the Neoclassical masters, the Post-Impressionists and even modernists like Pablo Picasso.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A landmark account of the work, thought, and life of the seventeenth-century French painter In this book, Anthony Blunt presents a rich account of the paintings, life, and development of the great seventeenth-century French classicist Nicolas Poussin (1594–1665), addressing the artist’s entire oeuvre alongside his theory of art. Blunt shows why Poussin holds a central place in the great French humanist line that produced Racine, Molière, Voltaire, the Parnassians, and Mallarmé. At the same time, he examines how Poussin looks back to Raphael and ancient Rome, while pointing forward to Ingres, Cézanne, the Cubists, and Picasso.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nicolas Poussin(1594 - 1665) was undoubtedly a highly significant master of the historical genre. He shaped its aesthetics which, regrettably, subsequently became regarded as a set of hard-and-fast rules (a trap which the Russian followers of the founder of classicism also fell into). We know that Poussin attributed prime significance to the actual choice of matter for depiction, giving preference to subjects which provided food for profound thought. Creatively reworking the aesthetic legacy of the Ancients, he introduced into the realm of painting the concept of the “modus” (mood of depiction), which established the functional unity of three components: the idea, the structure of the depiction, and its perception by the viewer. Composition assumed a predominant significance in his artistic system. In a letter of 1665, Nicolas Poussin put forward three main theses: firstly, painting is simply imitation; secondly, it aims to bring delight; Thirdly, the artist is endowed with a natural talent that no one can give him or deprive him of.
