"The Ordination" is a celebrated painting by the French artist Nicolas Poussin, completed in 1647. It is part of a series of seven paintings known as the "Seven Sacraments," which were commissioned by the Roman collector Cassiano dal Pozzo. These paintings are among Poussin's most renowned works and depict the seven sacraments of the Catholic Church, showcasing Poussin's mastery in handling religious themes with profound depth and classical restraint.

"The Ordination" specifically illustrates the sacrament of Holy Orders, the process by which men are ordained as members of the Christian clergy. The painting is set in an idealized, classical landscape that serves as a backdrop for the solemn ceremony. The composition is carefully constructed, with figures arranged in a manner that guides the viewer's eye towards the central action: the ordination of the priests. Poussin's use of light and color highlights the sacredness of the moment, while his attention to detail and the emotional restraint of the figures underscore the solemnity and significance of the sacrament.

Measuring 95 cm by 121 cm, "The Ordination" is executed in oil on canvas. It is characterized by Poussin's precise draughtsmanship and his ability to convey complex theological ideas through art. The painting's classical composition and the clarity of its narrative reflect Poussin's interest in the art and philosophy of ancient Greece and Rome, as well as his commitment to creating art that serves both an aesthetic and an intellectual purpose.

Originally part of the collection of Cassiano dal Pozzo, "The Ordination" has had a varied history and has been held in several prestigious collections over the centuries. Today, it is housed in the Scottish National Gallery in Edinburgh, where it continues to be admired for its artistic and theological depth. As a key work in Poussin's oeuvre, "The Ordination" not only exemplifies the artist's skill and intellectual approach to painting but also offers insight into the religious and cultural contexts of 17th-century Europe.
