"Extreme Unction" is a significant work of art created by the French Baroque painter Nicolas Poussin between 1638 and 1640. Poussin, renowned for his classical approach and meticulous composition, is often celebrated as one of the most influential figures in 17th-century French painting. This particular painting is part of a series known as the "Seven Sacraments," which Poussin executed for his Roman patron, Cassiano dal Pozzo. The series illustrates the seven sacraments of the Catholic Church, with "Extreme Unction" representing the sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick.

The painting depicts a solemn and poignant scene where a priest administers the sacrament to a dying man, surrounded by his grieving family. Poussin's mastery in capturing human emotion and his ability to convey a narrative through visual means are evident in this work. The composition is carefully structured, with the figures arranged in a harmonious and balanced manner, reflecting Poussin's classical influences and his study of ancient Roman art and Renaissance masters.

The use of light and shadow in "Extreme Unction" enhances the emotional gravity of the scene. The light falls gently on the central figures, highlighting the priest and the dying man, while the surrounding figures are cast in softer shadows, creating a sense of depth and intimacy. Poussin's attention to detail is also notable, from the intricate folds of the garments to the expressions of sorrow and contemplation on the faces of the onlookers.

"Extreme Unction" is not only a testament to Poussin's technical skill but also to his ability to infuse his works with profound spiritual and emotional resonance. The painting remains an important example of Baroque art and continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance.
