"Helios and Phaeton with Saturn and the Four Seasons" (c. 1635) is a significant oil on canvas painting by the French Baroque artist Nicolas Poussin. This work exemplifies Poussin's classical style and his preoccupation with themes from antiquity, reflecting both his erudition and his engagement with the humanistic culture of the 17th century. The painting depicts a mythological narrative involving Helios, the Greek god of the sun, and his son Phaeton, who disastrously attempted to drive his father's sun chariot. The presence of Saturn, the Roman god of time and the harvest, along with personifications of the Four Seasons, imbues the work with a rich allegorical meaning, suggesting the cyclical nature of time and the transient quality of human endeavors.

Measuring approximately 122 by 153 centimeters, the painting is noted for its harmonious composition and the clarity of its narrative. Poussin's mastery of color and light is evident in the way he contrasts the warmth of the sun with the cooler tones associated with Saturn and the changing seasons. The figures are rendered with sculptural solidity, a testament to Poussin's study of classical sculpture and his aspiration to achieve a timeless quality in his art.

"Helios and Phaeton with Saturn and the Four Seasons" is part of a body of work that reflects Poussin's deep engagement with philosophical ideas and his ambition to express these through the medium of painting.
