Nicolas Poussin (15 June 1594–November 19, 1665) was a French painter in the French Baroque style. His work predominantly features clarity, logic, order and favors line over color. Until the 20th century he remained the dominant inspiration for such classically oriented artists as Jacques-Louis David and Paul Cézanne.
He spent most of his working life in Rome except for a short period when Cardinal Richelieu ordered him back to France as First Painter to the King.
