"Poussin and Nature: Arcadian Visions"
at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, NYC
A great show at the Met running through May. My reccomendation if you love nature, myths & French color to see how its sumptously put together by Poussin.
Has almost all his landscapes including his famous masterpiece "Landscape with the Ashes of Phocion" . The first 2 rooms are great-everything in this warm, sensuous Italian light, from nymphs to fauns. They are wonderful products of a meticulous, cinematic vision.
