# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Poussin left France for Rome in 1624, chasing the Renaissance masters he'd glimpsed in royal collections, and Raphael's influence locked in. He built a reputation on tightly composed religious and mythological scenes for patrons like Cardinal Barberini, working at modest scale with clarity over flourish. Louis XIII and Richelieu pulled him back to Paris in 1640 as First Painter to the King, but the workload and intrigue sent him back to Rome within a year. He never left again. In his later years the landscape pushed forward — Orion stumbling blind toward the sun, Hercules tangled in wilderness, The Seasons — while his devotion to structure and line made him a north star for David, Ingres, and Cézanne long after his death in 1665.
