Poussin and the Dance
Exhibition at the National Gallery, LondonAdmission charge
Location: Ground Floor Galleries
In this exhibition, Poussin’s paintings and drawings of dance will be shown alongside the antique sculpture he studied, inviting you to trace the evolution of his ideas from marble to paper to paint. Poussin’s working methods will be fully revealed with a reconstruction of his wax figurines, which the artist manipulated into different compositions, underscoring his role not only as painter of dance, but as choreographer in his own right.
Exhibition organised by the National Gallery, London and the Getty Museum, Los Angeles.
