Biography:
Nicolas Poussin settled and studied in Paris beginning in 1612, where he examined the work Raphael and the Italian Renaissance. After a year-long tour of Italy, Poussin settled in Rome in 1624, producing work for Cardinal Barberini. Although Baroque was gaining popularity, Poussin stuck to Classicism and used Greek and Roman mythology as his primary subjects. Later in life, he abandoned his large, crowded scenes for landscapes.
