This painting holds a central place in the history of Western art, created by an artist regarded as a pivotal figure in the history of art in general. Touching on both spiritual and social themes, the work's inclusion in Abu Dhabi's Masterpieces Collection aims to attract a new global audience and to inspire future generations.   This book offers a comprehensive introduction to the work, aimed at non-specialist readers with an interest in art and art history. Pierre Rosenberg's essay comprises an in-depth study of the Confirmation and the Seven Sacraments series within Poussin's ouvre, while Sheila McTighe analyses the notion of painting as `mute poetry', aligning his work with the art of Raphael, Carracci and Domenichino. Together, these two renowned scholars' texts provide a lucid and accessible account of this great, challenging work, accompanied by extensive illustration of the Confirmation itself, other works by Poussin, and both his precursors and contemporaries. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56369289691509,"sku":"9781836360162","price":22.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781836360162.jpg?v=1763552837","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781836360162","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
