The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It was produced as a pendant to The Battle between the Israelites and the Amorites by the same artist during his time in Rome.
- He fell into dire financial straits after the 1625 death of his patron, the poet Giovan Battista Marino and Cardinal Francesco Barberini's departure from the city - this forced him to sell both works.
- They were both later acquired by Catherine II of Russia to be kept in Poussin's cousin Gaspard Dughet's home on via Paolina in Rome.
