Poussin's Women: Sex and Gender in the Artist's Works examines the
paintings and drawings of the well-known seventeenth-century French
painter Nicolas Poussin (1594-1665) from a gender studies
perspective, focusing on a critical analysis of his representations
of women. The book's thematic chapters investigate Poussin's women
in their roles as predators, as lustful or the objects of lust, as
lovers, killers, victims, heroines, or models of virtue. Poussin's
paintings reflect issues of gender within his social situation as
he consciously or unconsciously articulated its conflicts and
assumptions. A gender studies approach brings to light new critical
insights that illuminate how the artist represented women, both
positively and negatively, within the framework in his
seventeenth-century culture. This book covers the artist's works
from Classical mythology, Roman history, Tasso, and the Bible. It
serves as a good overview of Poussin as an artist, discussing the
latest research and including new interpretations of his major
works.
