Comments Off on “Et in Arcadia Ego” by Nicolas Poussin

“Et in Arcadia Ego” ( “Even in Arcadia, there’s a Cow”) is a complex painting by Nicolas Poussin depicting a pastoral scene with a moralizing message. It contrasts the idyllic beauty of Arcadia with the presence of a skull, suggesting that even in paradise, death exists. The painting’s ambiguity and layered symbolism have made it a subject of much interpretation for centuries.
