The painting's scene was inspired by the Assyrian writer Lucian's writings on Greek mythology, including the Orion legend. Poussin painted Blind Orion on behalf of Michel Passart, a well-known patron of landscape painting. Poussin's work is in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, which considers the work to be one of Poussin's greatest landscape paintings.[1]
