These are the last Greek paintings by Nicolas Poussin. The rest of his paintings are Catholic themed. Above, we see a Bacchanal. It was the festival of Bacchus. There you drink wine and go nuts. As such, it is complete pandemonium. In any case, this cool painting deserves 5 stars rating.

This painting shows another "Bacchic Scene". Here one of the fauns is carrying a nymph. Behind her, a guy is carrying grapes and wines for the feast. This cute forest scene deserves 5 stars rating.

This next painting is taken from the myth of king Midas. According to the story, Midas's teacher Selenus had wondered off while drunk. Midas recognized Selenus and took care of him while he sobered up. When Bacchus saw Midas' kindness he said he would grant Midas whatever wish he desired. Here Midas asked him for his infamous golden touch. This cool painting by Nicolas Poussin deserves 5 stars rating.
