"The Seven Sacraments: Confirmation" (1645) is a significant oil painting by the French painter Nicolas Poussin, a leading figure of the classical French Baroque style. This artwork is part of a series of seven paintings that depict the sacraments of the Catholic Church, commissioned by Poussin's patron, Cassiano dal Pozzo, a noted Italian scholar and collector. The series is celebrated for its innovative approach to religious themes, combining theological depth with classical restraint.

In "The Seven Sacraments: Confirmation," Poussin illustrates the moment of the sacrament of confirmation, a rite of initiation in the Catholic Church that strengthens the grace of baptism. The painting is meticulously composed, showcasing Poussin's mastery of space, light, and color to convey the solemnity and significance of the sacrament. The scene is set in an austere architectural environment, drawing inspiration from ancient Roman and Renaissance structures, which adds to the timeless quality of the narrative.

Central to the composition is the bishop, who administers the sacrament, anointing the forehead of a young confirmand with chrism. The figures are arranged in a manner that guides the viewer's eye towards this focal point, emphasizing the spiritual importance of the act. The bystanders, each rendered with individual care, reflect a range of human emotions, from reverence to introspection, highlighting Poussin's skill in capturing the complexity of human experience.

"The Seven Sacraments: Confirmation" is not only a masterpiece of religious art but also a testament to Poussin's philosophical interests and his endeavor to express the divine through the harmony of form and content. The painting, along with the rest of the series, had a profound influence on the development of French art, marking a departure from the decorative tendencies of the time towards a more intellectual and disciplined approach to painting.

Today, "The Seven Sacraments: Confirmation" is housed in the National Gallery of Scotland, Edinburgh, where it continues to be admired for its artistic and spiritual depth. The series stands as a monumental achievement in Poussin's oeuvre, encapsulating the ideals of the French classical tradition and the enduring power of religious art.
