Nicolas Poussin painted this in about 1625–27, aged about 31. It is now at the Cleveland Museum of Art.

From the museum's label:

> Like his colleague Claude Lorrain, Poussin depicted historical and mythological subjects in landscapes inspired by the countryside around Rome. His themes were often complex, and frequently incorporated witty allusions to classical texts.
