About the piece
Painted in 1630 by Nicolas Poussin, this seminal work of French Baroque art captures the harrowing biblical account of the plague at Ashdod. The composition is a masterclass in narrative tension, setting figures of profound suffering against a backdrop of rigid, classical architecture that emphasizes the scale of the tragedy. Its muted palette and meticulous detail reflect Poussin's intellectual and disciplined approach to painting.
