"The Saving of the Infant Pyrrhus" is a 1634 oil painting by French Baroque painter Nicolas Poussin. This artwork is part of Poussin's historical and mythological oeuvre, reflecting his keen interest in narratives that blend dramatic human action with moral or philosophical themes. The painting depicts a scene from the early life of Pyrrhus of Epirus, a prominent figure in ancient Greek history, known for his adventurous and tumultuous career as a king and general.

In the artwork, Poussin illustrates the moment when the infant Pyrrhus is rescued amidst the chaos of battle and political intrigue. According to Plutarch's "Lives," Pyrrhus was only two years old when his father, King Aeacides of Epirus, was dethroned. His protectors, fearing for his life, smuggled him to the court of King Glaucias of Illyria, who accepted him as a refugee. Poussin captures the urgency and danger of this episode through dynamic composition and the interplay of light and shadow, highlighting the vulnerability of the infant and the bravery of his rescuers.

The painting is noted for its classical composition and the clarity of its narrative, characteristics that are emblematic of Poussin's style. He employs a restrained palette and controlled brushwork to focus attention on the central figures and their emotional states, effectively conveying the drama of the historical event. "The Saving of the Infant Pyrrhus" not only exemplifies Poussin's artistry but also his intellectual engagement with the themes of heroism, survival, and destiny, which are recurrent in his works.

This painting is an important piece for understanding Poussin's impact on French Baroque art and his influence on later artists who sought to depict historical and mythological subjects with a similar blend of drama and moral complexity.
