"Camillus and the Schoolmaster of Falerii" is a painting by the renowned French Baroque artist Nicolas Poussin, created around 1637. This work is a fine example of Poussin's classical style, characterized by its clarity, order, and emphasis on narrative. The painting depicts a scene from ancient Roman history, specifically an episode involving the Roman general Camillus.

The story, derived from the writings of the Roman historian Livy, tells of a schoolmaster from the city of Falerii who betrayed his own city by leading its children to the Roman camp, hoping to hand them over to Camillus. Instead of accepting this treachery, Camillus demonstrated his moral integrity by having the schoolmaster stripped and sent back to Falerii, tied and whipped by the children. This act of honor impressed the Falerians, leading them to surrender to Rome voluntarily.

Poussin's composition captures the moment of confrontation, with Camillus standing as a figure of stoic virtue. The painting is noted for its balanced composition and the use of classical architecture as a backdrop, which enhances the historical setting. The figures are arranged in a harmonious manner, reflecting Poussin's deep understanding of human anatomy and movement.

The work is also significant for its moral and ethical themes, emphasizing virtues such as honor, integrity, and justice. Poussin's ability to convey complex narratives through his art is evident in this painting, making it a quintessential example of his oeuvre.

Currently, "Camillus and the Schoolmaster of Falerii" is housed in the Musée Condé in Chantilly, France. It remains an important piece for both its artistic merit and its reflection of the values of the classical world, as interpreted through the lens of 17th-century France.
