List of paintings by Nicolas Poussin

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This page is a list of paintings by Nicolas Poussin (Andelys, 15 June 1594 – Rome, 19 November 1665). The attributions vary notably from one art historian to another. Jacques Thuillier, one of the most restrictive, produced a list in 1994 that gave 224 uncontested autograph works and 33 works with minor or major doubts about their attribution to Poussin. Certain attributions have since changed, when paintings thought lost are rediscovered, meaning that this list cannot be considered exhaustive.

List

[edit]

This list includes paintings whose locations have been definitely found. The numbers refer to the two last 'catalogues raisonnés' cited in the sources : Thuillier 1994 and Blunt 1966.
