Figural groups, several closely based on ancient sculptures, evoke the choreography of dancers caught mid-action on stage, while the complex interplay of drapery woven between the figures reveals Poussin as a master colorist. Poussin arranged wax figures in a tiny, theater-like box to establish the sophisticated spatial relationships and formal balance of such paintings. The violent subject comes from a founding myth for the city of Rome: Romans invited the neighboring Sabines to a festival with the intention of forcibly capturing their women as wives. When the Roman leader Romulus raised his cloak—seen here at left—his warriors seized them. This painting belonged to the French ambassador to Rome in the 1630s and then to King Louis XIII’s chief minister, Cardinal Richelieu.\" - (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.metmuseum.org\/art\/collection\/search\/437329\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"The Metropolitan Museum of Art New York - The Abduction of the Sabine Women\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eThe Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nicolas Poussin","offers":[{"title":"No Size Selected (Select a Size)","offer_id":49887997231347,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Replica Size (60 7\/8\" x 82 5\/8\")","offer_id":49887997264115,"sku":null,"price":7293.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Signature Size (15 3\/8\" x 20 7\/8\")","offer_id":49887997296883,"sku":null,"price":695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Classic Size (18 3\/4\" x 25 1\/2\")","offer_id":49887997329651,"sku":null,"price":895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gallery Size (23\" x 31 1\/4\")","offer_id":49887997362419,"sku":null,"price":1295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Statement Size (29 3\/4\" x 40 1\/2\")","offer_id":49887997395187,"sku":null,"price":1995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grand Size (35 5\/8\" x 48 3\/8\")","offer_id":49887997427955,"sku":null,"price":2795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Estate Size (42\" x 57 1\/8\")","offer_id":49887997460723,"sku":null,"price":3695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Museum Size (50 1\/2\" x 68 5\/8\")","offer_id":49887997493491,"sku":null,"price":4995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/5738\/6483\/files\/TheAbductionoftheSabineWomen.jpg?v=1783590304","url":"https:\/\/commissionedpaintings.com\/products\/the-abduction-of-the-sabine-women","provider":"Commissioned Paintings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
