''A Dance to the Music of Time'' is a painting by the French artist Nicolas Poussin (1594–1665), completed between 1634 and 1636. As a prominent figure of the classical French Baroque style, Poussin's work is known for its ordered and rational qualities, which are exemplified in this painting. The work is held in the Wallace Collection in London, having been acquired by Sir Richard Wallace in the 19th century.

The painting depicts a group of four figures dancing in a circle, believed to represent the cyclical nature of life and the passing of time through the personifications of Poverty, Labor, Wealth, and Pleasure – themes that are recurrent in Poussin's oeuvre. These figures are accompanied by the god Janus, who traditionally looks both to the future and the past, and by Apollo, the god of the arts, who plays the lyre that dictates the dancers' movements. The scene is set in a pastoral landscape that further emphasizes the harmonious and timeless quality of the composition.

Poussin's ''A Dance to the Music of Time'' is often interpreted as an allegory of the human condition and the temporal progression of life. The painting's title, which was not given by Poussin himself but rather by later art historians, reflects the thematic content of the work and has inspired other cultural works, including the series of novels by Anthony Powell of the same name.

The painting is celebrated for its clarity of form, balanced composition, and the serene yet dynamic representation of the figures in motion. It is a quintessential example of Poussin's approach to narrative in painting, where every element is meticulously placed to convey a philosophical message. As such, ''A Dance to the Music of Time'' has been extensively analyzed in art historical literature and remains a significant work for studies of Poussin and the Baroque period.
