The present works include two of the seven compositions from the second series of the Seven Sacraments painted by Nicolas Poussin (1594-1665) between 1644 and 1648 for the collector Paul Fréart de Chantelou (1609-1694). This suite of seven paintings, in the National Gallery in Edinburgh (inv. nos. NGL 067.46A-NGL 067.46F), differs from the inventive freshness of the first series in its scholarly conception (J. Thuillier, Nicolas Poussin, Paris, 1994, p. 258).

Lot Essay

Les oeuvres ci-présentes reprennent deux des sept compositions appartenant à la seconde série des sept sacrements peinte par Nicolas Poussin (1594-1665) entre 1644 et 1648 pour le collectionneur Paul Fréart de Chantelou (1609-1694). Cette suite de sept tableaux, conservée à la National Gallery d'Édimbourg (inv. nos. NGL 067.46A-NGL 067.46F), se distingue de la fraîcheur inventive de la première série par sa conception savante (J. Thuillier, Nicolas Poussin, Paris, 1994, p. 258).
