Poussin, Rembrandt, and Neoclassicism
1. Poussin. Nicolas Poussin (Born June 1594, died November 1665), was a leading painter who utilized French Baroque style, even though he lived in Rome, where Baroque style was not very popular among its citizens. During his lifetime, he worked in Rome and used his art to influence and spread the Baroque styles. He did this by conveying a lot of emotion and drama in his works. Poussin’s work can also be characterized by its clarity, logic, and order, while using many vibrant colors. He is well-known for influencing many famous painters later in his time, such as Paul Cézanne, which is why he has been called by many the “springboard for the greatest French artists from David to Matisse”.

Rembrandt. Rembrandt van Rijn (Born July 1606, died October 1669), was a Dutch painter who greatly conveyed the style of Dutch Realism. He was one of the main painters in the Netherlands during the time known as the Dutch Golden Age. His contributions to art came during a time where the Dutch were extremely wealthy and culture was flourishing. His reputation as an artist was unsurpassed during a time in which Dutch Realism was slowly emerging as a new form of art. Rembrandt’s achievements as an artist helped increase the popularity of Realism in Europe, therefore lessening the impact of the Baroque Period.
3. Neoclassicism. Neoclassicism was a movement that brought back multiple forms of decorative and theatrical arts back to Europe during the 17th century. As neoclassicism means “new” and “of the highest rank”, the popularity of neoclassicism was spread throughout Europe. The theatrical arts brought by neoclassicism featured action-packed plays with tons of drama, action, and emotion. This revived movement (first originated during the Classical Age) was so popular and influential that it coincided with the Age of Enlightenment, which began in the 18th
