Fetonte chiede ad Apollo il carro del Sole e Armida trasporta Rinaldo di Nicolas Poussin e i loro possibili (non identificati) pendants

In seventeenth and eighteenth-century Italian art collections, paintings were very often displayed in a symmetrical order. Pendants were therefore extremely frequent. Nicolas Poussin, as well as Claude Lorrain, painted the majority of his landscapes as pairs, and also many others of his canvases were pendants. We know, for instance, that the artist executed two sets of pendants for cardinal Camillo Massimo. Two of Poussin's masterpieces in the Gemäldegalerie, Berlin, were likely to have been painted as a pair: Phaethon Asking Apollo Permission to Drive the Sun Chariot (1627-28), was the pendant of the Diana and Endymion now in the Detroit Institute of Arts, while Armida Carrying the Wounded Rinaldo Off to Her Palace (1637) was the pendant of a lost Hercules and Deyanira.
