Et in Arcadia ego is a Latin phrase that most famously appears as the title of two paintings by Nicolas Poussin (1594–1665). They are pastoral paintings depicting idealized shepherds from classical antiquity clustering around an austere tomb. The more famous second version of the subject measuring 87 by 120 centimetres (34.25 x 47.24 in) is in the Louvre Paris and also goes under the name Les bergers d’Arcadie (The Arcadian Shepherds).
