Last Nicolas Poussin 5 Stars Worthy Paintings

Last Nicolas Poussin 5 Stars Worthy Paintings

This is the last Nicolas Poussin review. These paintings too are from the Bible. Above, we see the "Massacre of the Innocents". When Herod failed to kill Jesus the first time, he made a public event for mothers and their male children. At his signal, his soldiers slaughter all of them. Mary barely escape that event. In the floor, we see all the dead children. One of the mothers is crying at the sight of her dead baby .This very depressing painting deserves 5 stars rating.

In this painting, we see the destruction of the temple. After many riots, the Romans were fed up with the Jews and their messiah related riots. To make a point, they destroyed their temple. All over the ground, we see the Romans butchering the priests. In the background, we see the relics of the temple. The Candelabrum shows that the Romans destroyed the arc of the covenant. You see, that Candelabrum was inside it. Therefore, it had lost all its divine problems. This depressing painting by Nicolas Poussin deserves 5 stars rating.

In this painting, St. Francis called upon Jesus to heal a girl. Above, we see Jesus with his angels. All around him, we see the witnesses to his miracle. This miraculous painting deserves 5 stars rating.

In this painting, St. Paul is getting raised up to the heavens by Angels. Whenever, a saint has such a close encounter with angels, it is called "Ecstasy". As such, we have the title of this painting. In the floor, he left behind his sword and his hatred toward the Christians. This amassing painting by Nicolas Poussin deserves 5 stars rating.

This painting is pretty simple. In the center, we see Jesus curing the blind. He has his hands over the eyes of the first blind person. All around him, we see witnesses to his miracle. The scenery goes well with the time period. It really does have a Roman look. In any case, this New Testament painting by Poussin deserves 5 stars rating.

This painting shows Christ giving his apostles their first mass. The entire light comes from the lamp in the center of the room. The shadows in the foreground came out looking pretty cool. 5 stars for Poussin.

In this painting, we see one of those infamous Martyrdom. The saint is getting his intestines ripped out of his body. You can see his hands clenched in pain. However, he has his gaze focused on the heavens. You can see little cherubs flying above. The priest beside him wants the Saint to adore the statue of Hercules. However, the saint is not budging. This gruesome sight by Poussin deserves 5 stars ratings.

In this painting, we see St. Cecilia playing the Piano. Two cherubs are holding up her music book. Though she is blind, she can somehow read the music book. This cute saint by Poussin deserves 5 stars rating.

In this painting, we see John baptizing people. Men and women from all ages are seeking redemption. Behind the saint, the pharisees are critiquing the Saint. They represented the status norm of the time. In any case, this painting by Nicolas Poussin deserves 5 stars rating.

This is another version of "The Massacre of the Innocents". This one focuses only on three figures. It shows a closeup of a soldier about to kill a baby. His mother is begging the soldier not to do it. However, he is pulling her away by grabbing her hair. This is a pretty depressing painting. This event drew a parallel with Jesus' life and the life of Moses. Remember when the Pharaoh killed all the male children of the slaves? In any case, this last painting by Poussin deserves 5 stars rating. I hope that you liked these Nicolas Poussin paintings reviews.
