Day was especially interested in the work of Nicolas Poussin (1594–1665), one of the great masters of the French baroque. In 1989 Day wrote an essay ruminating on Poussin’s The Birth of Venus (1635 or 1636), a painting he knew well from his frequent visits to the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

This drawing by Day is after a painting by Poussin, Venus Presenting Arms to Aeneas.
