"Studies After Antique Reliefs" is a series of artworks by the French classical painter Nicolas Poussin (1594–1665), who is renowned for his contributions to the French Baroque style. Poussin spent a significant portion of his career in Rome, where he was deeply influenced by the art and architecture of antiquity. His studies of antique reliefs reflect his engagement with the classical past and his desire to incorporate its principles into his own art.

The series comprises drawings and sketches in which Poussin meticulously reproduced the forms and compositions of various Roman reliefs and sculptures that he encountered during his studies. These works are not only indicative of Poussin's dedication to the study of classical art but also serve as a testament to his belief in the importance of drawing as a fundamental discipline for painters. Through these studies, Poussin sought to understand the underlying structure and harmony of classical art, which he considered essential for the creation of noble and timeless works.

Poussin's "Studies After Antique Reliefs" are characterized by their precise line work and attention to detail. They often served as preparatory works for his larger paintings, allowing him to experiment with composition, form, and the depiction of the human body in motion. The studies are also valuable historical documents, as they provide insights into the types of classical artworks that were available to artists in Rome during the 17th century.

While the exact number and whereabouts of all the studies in the series are not fully documented, some of them are held in the collections of major museums and art institutions around the world. These drawings are considered important examples of Poussin's draftsmanship and are studied for their influence on the development of neoclassical art in the centuries that followed.

As an artist who strived for intellectual rigor and clarity in his work, Nicolas Poussin's "Studies After Antique Reliefs" exemplify his methodical approach to art-making and his enduring impact on the Western art canon. Through these studies, Poussin not only honed his own artistic skills but also contributed to the preservation and dissemination of classical ideals in art.
