Sobre a pintura
Nicolas Poussin (1594-1665) was born in Normandy but spent his formative years in Paris from 1612–1623. He may have studied with Ferdinand Elle (ca.1585-1637/40) and Georges Lallemand (died 1636) and was influenced by the second Ecole of Fontainebleau. He went to Italy and arrived in Rome, following a visit to Venice, in March 1624 where he spent the rest of his life. He became a member of the Accademia di S Luca by 1632 and received commissions from important collectors in France and Italy, producing history, religious and landscape paintings. His most famous pupil was his brother-in-law Gaspard Dughet (1615-1675).

This painting is a copy after Poussin’s Venus Presenting Arms to Aeneas housed in the Musée des Beaux-Arts, Rouen. It depicts Venus, attended by putti and a swan, showing her son Aeneas the arms she had have forged for him. Aeneas is presented here as a Greek hero with a large cloak wrapped around him and a helmet while reclining figures on the ground symbolised fluvial divinities. This painting is a good example of Poussin’s mythological subject and Classical baroque art, which combined movement with a symmetrical balance.
