Descrizione
Pierre Rosenberg has been passionate about the work of Nicolas Poussin (1594-1665) for over fifty years. He has devoted numerous articles and exhibitions to the artist and has now published the Catalogue Raisonné of Poussin’s painted works, the fruit of immense research. Each of the approximately three hundred entries presents a detailed provenance of the work, its dating, a comprehensive list of its preparatory drawings and copies, and offers a stylistic analysis of the work and its place in the evolution of the painter’s thought. The four richly illustrated volumes of the work aim to bring together everything that is currently known about the work of Nicolas Poussin, whom Rosenberg considers the greatest French painter.
