Universally regarded as the father of French painting, Nicolas
Poussin is arguably the greatest of all painters of that school.
Yet Poussin's reputation has been founded more on the intellectual
and philosophical qualities of his art than its sheer visual
beauty. In Poussin as a Painter: From Classicism to Abstraction,
Richard Verdi redresses the balance, describing and analyzing
Poussin's outstanding gifts as a pictorial storyteller, designer
and colourist - in short, on the purely aesthetic (and often
abstract) aspects of his art that have inspired so many later
painters, from Cezanne to Picasso. The book features more than 220
fine illustrations, the majority in colour, and encompasses all
aspects of Poussin's art from the mid 1620s to his death in 1665.
This ground-breaking study gives new insight into Poussin, and is
essential reading for all who admire this seminal French painter.
