About the piece
Painted in 1635 by Nicolas Poussin, this masterwork captures the dynamic intensity of the Siege of Jerusalem. The composition centers on Emperor Titus atop a rearing white horse, contrasted against the rigid, monumental columns of a classical temple while Roman soldiers and captives fill the foreground in a sophisticated display of Baroque history painting.
