Description
This is a reproduction of “The Judgement of Solomon” of 1649 by Nicolas Poussin. The paimting displays the attention that Poussin paid to form, setting and placement that were to become hallmarks of the Neoclassical Style of the next century. The piece is noted for its harmony and clarity as well as the juxtaposition of opposites, such as the anger of the one woman counterposed by the strength of love of the other. It is a pivotal work in the history of European art. Poussin was born in Normandy and ran away to Paris when he was eighteen. He moved to Rome when he was thirty in the company of his friend Marino and secured the patronage of the Cardinal Barbarini. He participated in the emerging Roman Baroque style. He returned to France in 1640 and became First Painter to Louis XIII but returned to Rome in disgust at the intrigues of the French Court. He continued to work there but began to decline in health after 1650. He died in Rome in 1664 leaving no children. This masterpiece is an oil on canvas and measures 39.8 by 59.1 inches. It is in the Musee du Louvre in Paris.
