The Death of Chione
text:
The Death of Chione is an oil-on-canvas painting executed in 1622 by the French artist Nicolas Poussin, his first known surviving work. He produced it during a stay in Lyon and in February 2016 it was acquired by that city's Museum of Fine Arts. It shows the death of Chione, lover of both Hermes and Apollo – she had compared her beauty to that of Apollo's sister Artemis, who hunted her down and killed her by shooting an arrow through her tongue.
