"The Infant Jupiter Nurtured by the Goat Amalthea" is a significant painting by the French Baroque artist Nicolas Poussin. Created in the 17th century, this work of art illustrates a mythological scene from ancient Roman lore, depicting the early life of Jupiter (Zeus in Greek mythology), the king of the gods. According to the myth, Jupiter was hidden from his father, Saturn, who had a propensity for devouring his offspring to prevent them from usurping his throne. To ensure Jupiter's safety, he was secreted away and left in the care of the goat Amalthea on the island of Crete.

Poussin, known for his mastery in depicting classical subjects, brings this mythological narrative to life with his refined and intellectual approach to painting. The composition typically features the infant god being suckled by the goat, with an attendant nymph and often a landscape that reflects Poussin's idealized vision of the classical world. The painting is emblematic of Poussin's artistry, showcasing his ability to convey serene and harmonious scenes imbued with a sense of order and clarity.

The work is a testament to Poussin's influence on the classical tradition in French painting and his role in the development of the Baroque style. His paintings are characterized by their calm and rational structure, balanced compositions, and the clear rendering of space and form. "The Infant Jupiter Nurtured by the Goat Amalthea" exemplifies these qualities, making it a notable example of Poussin's contribution to the history of art.

The painting is also an illustration of the themes of protection and divine providence, as the nurturing of Jupiter ensured his survival and eventual rise to power among the gods. This subject allowed Poussin to explore both the tenderness of the scene and the grandeur of its mythological significance.

While the exact date of creation and current location of "The Infant Jupiter Nurtured by the Goat Amalthea" may require further research for precise details, the painting remains an important work within Poussin's oeuvre and continues to be studied for its artistic and cultural value within the context of Baroque art and classical mythology.
