This painting by Nicolas Poussin, known as *The Blind of Jericho*, depicts the biblical story of Jesus healing a blind man. The scene is set in a bustling, outdoor setting with several figures in the background. Jesus is prominently positioned at the center of the composition, his hand extended towards the blind man as he heals him. The dramatic use of light and shadow and the detailed portrayal of the figures create a sense of realism and emotion. This painting is a testament to Poussin's skill in both composition and storytelling.
