Poussin's scenes of bacchanalian revelry, tripping maenads and
skipping nymphs are often described as 'dancelike' and
'choreographed'. The artist's dancing pictures helped him develop a
new approach to painting that would become the model for the French
classical tradition. Shedding the sensuous, painterly manner of his
early career, Poussin carved out the crisp, relief-like approach
that characterized his mature work and set the precedent for three
centuries of French art, from Le Brun and David to Cezanne and
Picasso. He carried lessons learned from dance into every corner of
his production. This book brings together a key group of paintings
and drawings by Poussin, exploring the theme of dance and dancers
in his production for the first time. Focusing on the dancing
pictures created in Rome in the 1620s and 1630s, essays connect
Poussin's interest in dance, his study of antiquities, and his
formulation of a new classical style. Richly illustrated and
engagingly written, this publication uses the prism of dance to
cast Poussin in a new, fresh light.
