Hymenaios disguised is a 1634 oil by Nicolas Poussin, a Early Baroque Italian work, held at São Paulo Museum of Art.
This painting shows a group of people in classical robes gathered around a statue. The scene is set in a garden with trees and flowers. The people are dancing, playing instruments, and celebrating. A quiet detail is the statue in the center, which seems to be the focus of the celebration. The statue is surrounded by garlands of flowers and greenery. This painting is reminiscent of the work of artist Nicolas Poussin.
Nicolas Poussin (UK: , US: , French: ; June 1594 – 19 November 1665) was a leading painter of the classical French Baroque style, although he spent most of his working life in Rome.
