First visit to Musée des Beaux Arts

We had not yet visited Le Musée des Beaux Arts but today we decided we should go and see the Nicolas Poussin exhibition.

I didn’t know much about him but Cath was explaining his style to me on the short walk to the museum – a leading French painter of the French baroque style in the 17th century.

Venus featured heavily
As did Bacchus

There was also some Picasso works inspired by Poussin. All in all a very good exhibition and the musée is great with some lovely paintings and sculptures.
