Nicolas Poussin (1594-1665)  

• Was a French painter. 
• Nicolas Poussin was a major inspiration for such classically-oriented artists as Jacques-Louis David, Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres and Paul Cézanne.
• Each of Poussin's paintings told a story. 
• Aside from his self-portraits, Poussin never painted contemporary subjects.
• In the years following Poussin's death, his style had a strong influence on French art.
• Thanks in particular to Charles Le Brun, who had studied briefly with Poussin in Rome, and who, like Poussin, became a court painter for the King and later the head of the French Academy in Rome.
