Other Poussins

Joshua's Victory over the Amalekites
1625-26

Combat de soldat nus et casqués

Poussin made paintings in many genres over the course of a long career. I am too much in the habit of thinking only of the landscapes when I think of Poussin, but the Friedlaender book (my recent companion) is a corrective, as seen here. Digital images mainly sourced from Joconde.
