Nicolas Poussin by Oskar Bätschmann
Presenting a study of Nicolas Poussin, one of seventeenth-century Europe's greatest artists, this title offers a series of connected studies that provide ways of interpreting the work and ideas of Poussin.
Like Poussin's paintings, this is a highly polished workIn prose of great elegance, Batschmann achieves an almost perfect balance between exposition and polemic. The Times Literary Supplement This is a tough but rewarding book, focusing not so much on the context of Poussin's book - its extrinsic framework - but intently on the work itself, and the attitude of Poussin to his subject-matter, from history painting to the holy family, and what Batschmann calls "tragic landscape".
