Nicolas Poussin - Landscape with Polyphemus (1649)


An apparent, banal landscape. Art History is full of it. But nobody has the mythical, historical and mythological charm of this.
Nicolas Poussin's painting is mythological.
Mythical figures hidden in the bushes. A Polyphemus who seems an integral part of the mountain. Without a doubt we are faced with a vision and an invitation.
We live in a world that is formed on the myth, let's see it in everyday life. They are not simple stories, it is the explanation of our being.
