" (This bust is now in the Museum of the Capitol, Rome. ) A medal, designed by M. Dumarest, was struck in 1796, for the use of the French schools of painting and sculpture. On one side of it is represented, in profile, Poussin's head with a star above it. Around the outer edge of this medal are engraved the words — "Nicolas Poussin, French Painter. " On the reverse, in a wreath in the centre, appear a palette, brush, crayon, compass and rule ; on the margin is the legend — "French School, First... 172 NICOLAS POUSSIN Prize in Painting. " The compass and rule were added, in order that this medal might be used as a prize in sculpture. In the church of San Lorenzo in Lucina at Rome is a little monument to the artist. It takes the form of a bust, is of white marble, and signed "P. Lemoyne 1829. " Underneath the arch in which it has been placed are brought these words — " F. A.
