Abstract
Poussin’s paintings present a wide range of approaches to love. Deeply felt love is portrayed in his Venus and Adonis (two versions), Acis and Galatea, Triumph of Neptune and Amphitrite, Arcadian Shepherds (first version), Spring (Earthly Paradise), and Summer. Mars and Venus depicts controlling love. Unfulfilled love is shown in his Tancred and Erminia (two versions) and Venus with the Dead Adonis, while Landscape with Juno and Argus represents jealous love.
