About the piece

Painted in 1682, Nicolas Colombel’s 'Christ Healing the Blind' showcases the artist's mastery of the Poussinist style, characterized by clear structure and vibrant primary colors. The scene unfolds in a balanced landscape where the brilliant blue of Christ's robe serves as a visual anchor against the warm, earth-toned crowd and distant architecture.
