Another important French patron of Poussin in this period was Paul Fréart de Chantelou, who came to Rome in 1643 and stayed there for several months. He commissioned from Poussin some of his most important works, including the second series of the "Seven Sacraments", painted between 1644 and 1648, and his "Landscape with Diogenes". In 1649 he painted the "Vision of St Paul" for the comic poet Paul Scarron, and in 1651 the "Holy Family" for the duc de Créquy. Landscapes had been a secondary feature of his early work; in his later work nature and the landscape was frequently the central element of the painting.
