 [Jigsaw Puzzle from Educa Borras entitled Mount Parnassus by Nicholas Poussin]
Mount Parnassus
by Nicholas Poussin
8000-pc jigsaw puzzle for US$ 157.50

Nicolas Poussin (1594-1665) was undoubtedly the highest example of the baroque classicist tradition. Poussin abandoned religious themes and focussed himself almost exclusively on interpretation of the ancient myths. Poussin painted this canvas during his first years in Rome, between 1631 and 1633, using in it the same composition and the same theme as found in a fresco work by Raphael in the Vatican. This work, now in the Prado Museum in Madrid, shows Mount Parnassus, close to the source of the spring of Castalia, with a group of the Greek gods and the principal poets, muses, etc. Poussin describes a serene, luminous image, with smooth subtle colours and the figures perfectly arranged in space. It is the most perfect example of the classicism practised during the French Baroque.
