poussin, gaspard
landscape painter of the Baroque period known for his topographic views of the Roman Campagna. He worked chiefly in Rome and its vicinity throughout his life, but, because his father was French, it is usual to class him among the French school. Dughet's sister married Nicolas Poussin, and he called himself after his famous brother-in-law.
