| book description |

Confirmation (c.1637â€“1640) by Nicolas Poussin is part of the artistâ€™s renowned Seven Sacraments series. This painting holds a central place in the history of Western art, created by an artist regarded as a pivotal figure in the history of art in general. Touching on both spiritual and social themes, the workâ€™s inclusion in Abu Dhabiâ€™s Masterpieces Collection aims to attract a new global audience and to inspire future generations. This book offers a comprehensive introduction to the work, aimed at non-specialist readers with an interest in art and art history. Pierre Rosenbergâ€™s essay comprises an in-depth study of the Confirmation and the Seven Sacraments series within Poussinâ€™s Å“uvre, while Sheila McTighe analyses the notion of painting as â€˜mute poetryâ€™, aligning his work with the art of Raphael, Carracci and Domenichino. Together, these two renowned scholarsâ€™ texts provide a lucid and accessible account of this great, challenging work, accompanied by extensive illustration of the Confirmation itself, other works by Poussin, and both his precursors and contemporaries.
