Nicolas Poussin
A monumental life’s work on Nicolas Poussin
With the publication of Nicolas Poussin – Catalogue raisonné de l’œuvre peint, Flammarion Beaux-Arts has produced an exceptional art-historical reference work. This four-volume box set catalogues the complete painted oeuvre of Nicolas Poussin and is the result of more than half a century of research, supplemented by over ten years of intensive editorial work.
The project was compiled by art historian Pierre Rosenberg, former director of the Louvre, in collaboration with Christel Dupuy. The catalogue contains over 1,600 pages of analysis, documentation and illustrations, offering an unprecedented insight into the work of one of the most important painters of the 17th century.
Client: Flammarion Beaux-Arts
Collaboration with Graphius
Reproducing the artworks presented a particular challenge. ‘Shades of black often shine through in Poussin’s paintings. So we had to strike a balance to preserve the brightness of the images.
Technical Specifications
The four-volume box set was printed on Magno Volume 115 g/m² and was designed with a view to intensive use by researchers, art historians and art lovers. The combination of high-quality paper, accurate colour reproduction and a functional design ensures that Poussin’s paintings are shown to their best advantage, down to the finest detail.
