Landschaft mit Juno und dem getöteten Argus is a 1624 paint by Nicolas Poussin, a Flemish Baroque painting work, held at Gemäldegalerie Berlin.
The painting depicts a serene landscape with a group of people and animals in the foreground. The scene is set in a natural environment, with trees and hills visible in the background. The figures in the painting are engaged in various activities, with some sitting or standing while others appear to be moving. In the distance, a figure is seen flying through the air, adding a sense of movement and energy to the otherwise peaceful scene. The use of color and light in the painting creates a sense of depth and atmosphere, drawing the viewer's eye into the scene. The painting's use of chiaroscuro, a technique that uses strong contrasts between light and dark to create a sense of volume and depth, adds to its overall impact.
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.
