The Cavaliere Marino takes the painter under his wing
Poussin’s work caught the attention of the Italian poet Cavaliere Marino, then living in France; his patronage let the thirty-year-old painter work in peace. According to Bellori the poet took him into his house and helped him with the invention of subjects and the rendering of emotion, and in Marino’s house Poussin gained access to a library with treatises by Alberti and Dürer and manuscripts and drawings by Leonardo.

Friends in Rome: Claude Lorrain, Stella, the Duquesnoy brothers
In 1626 Pierre Mellin and the brothers François and Jérôme Duquesnoy lodged in his studio; he was close to Claude Lorrain and kept company with Jacques Stella and Jean Lemaire. The circle was united by a pull towards classical antiquity; despite all his disagreements with French painters, it was this milieu that helped Poussin keep his national roots.

Gives up monumental commissions
In 1630 the commission headed by Domenichino and d’Arpino gave the decoration of the Chapel of the Immaculate Conception in San Luigi dei Francesi to the Lorrainer Charles Mellin, not to Poussin. After that he firmly renounced the monumental genre and turned to “cabinet painting” for private patrons.

Cassiano dal Pozzo — his chief patron
Poussin’s flowering coincided with his complete abandonment of church commissions: he gathered a circle of patrons around him but strove for independence, accepting commissions from connoisseurs without binding himself to any of them permanently. The most important was Cassiano dal Pozzo; in the surviving correspondence the relationship comes close to servitude, although the painter did not live in his house.
