N NICOLAS POUSSIN French: 1593—1665 No. 32—A BACCHANAL (Canvas)Height, 38 inches- length, 54 inches In the center of a pleasant landscape, composed of suave,tranquil lines and masses, rises a mound, occupied byfive trees that shelter a statue of Bacchus, raised upon apedestal. At the foot of the latter is a votive wine-jar,near which are grouped three nude pipe-players and afourth with a tambourine. Below the mound reclinesa mother, whose child is struggling to reach her breast.A faun leans over her, and another is seated at the rightbeside a nymph, whose beautiful form is nude save fora pale rose drapery. On the left of this group two othernymphs are dancing with a youth, their blue and whitedraperies floating freely to the grace of their movements.The wreath of figures is completed by two other mendancing with spirited abandon, while, under the shadowof a tree on the left, two fauns set the measure withtheir pipes.
