掠夺萨宾妇女

Nicolas Poussin French

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 623

根据传说，最早的罗马人邀请与他们比邻的萨宾人去罗马，只为强行留下他们的年轻女子作自己的妻子。此图中，罗慕路斯撑起他的披风作为事先商量好的信号，让武士们夺取这些女人。普桑对古代遗物的研究体现在右边男子所穿的黄色盔甲上，这是依据一种古罗马胸甲而画的，这种盔甲由皮革制成，贴身重现了这名男子的躯干结构。长期以来这幅作品都被视为法国古典绘画中的决定性杰作，它曾属于克雷基元帅。作为法国派驻罗马的大使，克雷基得以有机会见到普桑，因为普桑曾在罗马度过了整个成年时期。
