Nicolas Colombel

Pintor clássico francês poussiniano

Nicolas Colombel foi um pintor francês, muito influenciado por Poussin. Colombel nasceu em Sotteville, perto de Rouen, por volta de 1644. Ele foi para Roma ainda jovem e lá permaneceu até 1692, formando seu estilo através do estudo das obras de Rafael e Nicolas Poussin. Seus quadros tiveram considerável sucesso, mas a maioria dos críticos posteriores o descartou como um mero imitador de Poussin. He was admitted into the Academy of St Luke at Rome in 1686, and in 1694 into that of Paris. The Louvre possesses the Mars and Rhea Sylvia, which he painted for his reception to the Academy, and a work representing the Saint Hyacinth Saving the Statue of the Virgin from the Enemies of the Name of Christ . He was employed by Louis XIV at both Versailles and Meudon. Many of his works were engraved by Dufloc, and by Michel Dossier. He died in Paris in 1717.
