I faintly wish this* aspect of things wouldn’t keep popping up just when I’m trying to pretend I’m a Serious Researcher. One does not, of course, have to do it right in order occasionally to get it right….

The fact that Poussin was (apparently) so clearly instructed, and by such a man,** is faintly unnerving.
