Seven Sacraments (Poussin)
''The Seven Sacraments'' refers to two series of paintings of the seven sacraments by the French painter Nicolas Poussin. First series Painted between 1637 and 1640, the first series was commissioned by Cassiano del Pozzo in the second half of the 1630s and was sold to the Dukes of Rutland in 1784. One of the seven, ''Penance'', was destroyed in a fire at the Rutlands' Belvoir Castle in 1816, and ''Baptism'' was acquired by the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC in 1939, where it still resides. The remaining five were still at Belvoir Castle at the time when Anthony Blunt wrote his catalogue in 1966 and then were on show at the National Gallery in London until recently. All five of these paintings in the National Gallery were taken off show in November 2010 prior to the attempted sale of ''Ordination'' on 8 December that year. ''Ordination'' was ultimately purchased by the Kimbell Art Museum for US$24.3 million and was displayed for the first time there on September 14 ...

Nicolas Poussin
Nicolas Poussin (, , ; June 1594 – 19 November 1665) was the leading painter of the classical French Baroque style, although he spent most of his working life in Rome. Most of his works were on religious and mythological subjects painted for a small group of Italian and French collectors. He returned to Paris for a brief period to serve as First Painter to the King under Louis XIII and Cardinal Richelieu, but soon returned to Rome and resumed his more traditional themes. In his later years he gave growing prominence to the landscape in his paintings. His work is characterized by clarity, logic, and order, and favors line over color. Until the 20th century he remained a major inspiration for such classically-oriented artists as Jacques-Louis David, Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres and Paul Cézanne. Details of Poussin's artistic training are somewhat obscure. Around 1612 he traveled to Paris, where he studied under minor masters and completed his earliest surviving works. Hi ...

Artangel
Artangel is a London-based arts organisation founded in 1985 by Roger Took. Directed since 1991 by James Lingwood and Michael Morris, it has commissioned and produced a string of notable site-specific works, plus several projects for TV, film, radio and the web. Notable past works include the Turner Prize-winning ''House'' by Rachel Whiteread (1993), '' Break Down'' by Michael Landy (2001) and ''Seizure'' by Roger Hiorns (2008–2010), also nominated for the Turner Prize in 2009. A 2002 article in ''The Daily Telegraph'' described the organisation as creating "art that operates by ambush, rather than asking you to pay up before you see it", while a 2007 profile in ''The Observer'' noted that "Artangel has worked with exceptional artists to produce some of the most resonant works of our time, in some very unusual places". These have included a condemned council flat (''Seizure'', 2008–2010), a former postal sorting office (''Küba'', 2005), a vacated general plumbing store (''An ...
