About the piece
Painted by Nicolas Poussin in 1626, this dynamic work captures the Roman destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem. The composition is a tour de force of Baroque movement, featuring dramatic chiaroscuro, classical architecture engulfed in flames, and a dense tangle of soldiers and looters centering on the figure of Titus atop a white horse.
