SEBASTIEN BOURDON. A Classical Landscape

SEBASTIEN BOURDON. A Classical Landscape. Artist: Sébastien Bourdon (French, Montpellier 1616-1671 Paris). Dimensions: 27 1/2 x 36 1/4 in. (69.9 x 92.1 cm). Date: probably 1660s. Bourdon's rigorously structured classical landscapes, such as this one, were modeled on those of Nicolas Poussin. In this landscape the painter quoted ancient and contemporary works of art. The statue of a horse at the left is a direct citation of one of the statues of the <i>Dioscuri</i> on top of the Quirinal Hill in Rome. The dancers at the right, instead, derive from Poussin's <i>Bacchanal</i> (now in the National Gallery, London).
