Gaspard Poussin (Dughet)

Born: 1615, Italy, Rome   Died: 1675, Italy, Rome

Painter. Son of a French pastry-cook and his Italian wife. Studied under his brother-in-law, Nicolas Poussin (1594-1665); it is this connection that gave him the name Gaspard Poussin. He became one of the two leading landscape painters of his time alongside Salvator Rosa (1615-1673), and Poussin's landscape frescoes can still be seen (in varying states of preservation) at the Colonna Palace and the Palazzo Pamphilj, both in Rome.
