Description

Gaspard Dughet gen. Poussin (1615 Rome - 1675 ibid.) Circumference Baptism of Christ by John the Baptist Scenic depiction of the baptism according to the Gospels of Matthew and Mark. The baptism is depicted in the foreground in a wide, tree-covered landscape with the Jordan River interspersed with mountains, flanked by several other figures. John the Baptist is kneeling in the center on a rock, holding a staff with the inscription "ECCE AGNUS DEI" (Behold the Lamb of God) in his left hand; above Christ, who is still standing in the water, is the dove of the Holy Spirit; in a cloud in the sky is God the Father with the globe and two angels. The composition, motif and style are reminiscent of the Italian school, in particular Nicolas Poussin and Gaspard Dughet. The latter was a pupil of his later brother-in-law Nicolas Poussin from 1631-1635, who had a lasting influence on him and whose name he even adopted. His fellow artist Claude Lorrain, who also worked in Rome, inspired Dughet to specialize in Arcadian, idealized Campagna landscapes, into which he sometimes also composed historical, mythological or biblical scenes. His paintings can be found in English collections in particular through Grand Tour travelers, but they also found their way into the Royal Collection and National Gallery in London. Oil on canvas, double; 72 cm x 96 cm. Frame. Circle of Gaspard Dughet called Poussin (1615 - 1675). Oil on canvas, relined.
