Poussin was greatly influenced by Italian artists in his approach to Christian subjects.
In Rome, Poussin was welcomed into the lively group of intellectuals centered around Cassiano dal Pozzo, the remarkable archaeologist, philosopher, and naturalist employed by the Barberini family. Cassiano became Poussin’s close friend and patron, as well as a link to other well-placed collectors.
His intense curiosity about the lives and thought of the early Greeks and Romans, and his dedication to recording the monuments of their civilization.
Poussin brought a new intellectual rigor to the classical impulse in art, as well as a unique, somewhat reticent poetry.
