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 work&rsquo;s inclusion in Abu Dhabi&rsquo;s Masterpieces Collection aims to attract a new global audience and to inspire future generations.<\/p>\n<p>This book offers a comprehensive introduction to the work, aimed at non-specialist readers with an interest in art and art history. Pierre Rosenberg&rsquo;s essay comprises an in-depth study of the <em>Confirmation<\/em> and the <em>Seven Sacraments<\/em> series within Poussin&rsquo;s &oelig;uvre, while Sheila McTighe analyzes the notion of painting as &lsquo;mute poetry&rsquo;, aligning his work with the art of Raphael, Carracci and Domenichino. Together, these two renowned scholars&rsquo; texts provide a lucid and accessible account of this great, challenging work, accompanied by extensive illustration of the <em>Confirmation<\/em> itself, other works by Poussin, and both his precursors and contemporaries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Poussin&rsquo;s Confirmation is the first volume in a major new series commissioned by the Department of Culture and Tourism of Abu Dhabi, presenting individual masterpieces acquired and now resident in the Emirate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":67907,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":""},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[5523],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-62731","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-art","7":"author-by-author-pierre-rosenberg","8":"author-by-author-sheila-mctighe","9":"publisher-kulturalis","10":"series-masterpieces-abu-dhabi","12":"first","13":"instock","14":"shipping-taxable","15":"purchasable","16":"product-type-simple"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 -
