"Selene and Endymion, c.1630" is a significant oil on canvas painting by the French classical painter Nicolas Poussin. This artwork, which measures approximately 122 x 170 cm, is housed in the Musée du Louvre in Paris. The painting depicts the mythological tale of Selene, the Greek goddess of the moon, and her mortal lover, Endymion. According to the myth, Selene, struck by Endymion's beauty, asked Zeus to grant him eternal youth and immortality so that he would never leave her. Zeus consented by putting Endymion into an eternal sleep, during which Selene would visit him every night.

In Poussin's rendition, the artist captures the moment of tender affection as Selene descends to embrace the sleeping Endymion. The composition is imbued with a sense of tranquility and the ethereal quality of the nocturnal setting, which is a testament to Poussin's mastery of light and shadow. The use of chiaroscuro enhances the dramatic effect and emphasizes the contrast between the divine luminescence of Selene and the mortal realm of Endymion.

Poussin, known for his contributions to the classical Baroque style, often drew upon themes from antiquity and mythology. "Selene and Endymion" is exemplary of his work during the 1630s, a period in which he was particularly focused on exploring the narrative potential of mythological subjects. The painting is celebrated for its balanced composition, harmonious color palette, and the emotional depth Poussin imparts to the legendary lovers. It remains an important work in the study of 17th-century French painting and contributes to the understanding of Poussin's artistic legacy and the broader context of European art history.
