Nicolas Poussin and his painting-- The Arcadian shepherds

[caption id="attachment_19434" align="aligncenter" width="461"] Nicolas Poussin[/caption] Nicolas Poussin's painting looks like an innocent painting having 4 men and a giant box. [caption id="attachment_19435" align="aligncenter" width="512"] The 4 Arcadian Shepherds[/caption] Fun Fact: the giant box is said to be a real tomb....! In 1980's British art department got a mysterious tip from an unknown caller that the tomb was real. The caller also claimed that it was no ordinary painting but instead a confession of murder or witness to a murder. The second very interesting thing about it is that the background of Nicolas Poussin's painting is said to be a map or a key which may hold clues to the secret of Knights Templar Some speculate it holds the Directions to the Body of Jesus but it goes against all laws as Jesus, rose back from the dead and there is no Body to be found in the first place! Moreover, there are markers (which is the name of the painting) "Et in arcadia ego" that means—“even in arcadia I exists” People believe this inscription to be some kind of marker…leading on to another conspiracy or mystery…Facts are yet inconclusive as of today. The painting has a castle in the background. (Which is not very clear but there back on the hill if you use x-ray vision :P) The land markers brought about a conclusion by the researchers that the castle in the painting was indeed a real castle. Thus aiding to the Mystery caller’s tip of the realness of the tomb and that it might be somewhere around the premises if they could narrow down the location of the castle. Another very interesting thing about this painting is that-- "Poussin holds the key" was found written in ancient parchments and scrolls… Near the hill around that region or unafirmitively in the parish… Which looked eerily similar to the hill in the painting. Things just got weirder when Kings got involved in this story. Because then the equation became—A painting, A castle and A King! King Louis XIV was obsessed with hiding this painting… In and during his reign he found it and hid it from the people… which was scary because of 2 questions: 1. why did he always try to hide it? And 2. What’s the real truth behind this infamous painting?       Do you know any more conspiracies? What do you think is the mystery behind all of these?
