Description: | I s.d. in plate b.r. "Steph Picart Romus Sculp. 1677"; inscr. in plate b.l. "Nic Poussin pinx"; inscr. in plate b.l. "L'arche du Seigneur ayant este prise par les Philistins et mise aupres de l'Idole de Dagon, / dans la ville d'Azot, l'Idole tomba, la teste est les mains coupees et Dieu frappa les habitans dans la plus secrete / partie de leur corps: la terre produisit des rats, et il yeut une grande mortalite dans la ville . . ." CRE PICART, Etienne; (French; 1632-1721) AFTER POUSSIN, Nicolas; (French; 1594-1665) Picart's print reverses Poussin's painting, itself closely based on an engraving of the Tragic Stage by the 16th century architect and theorist, Sebastiano Serlio. The choice of subject may have been subjected to Poussin by the great plague that struck Milan in 1630. | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Subjects: | PLAGUE : ASHDOD : TOWN : ESSEX : VOLUME : REPRODUCTION : DEATH : ILLNESS : CLASSICAL : | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
