"Landscape with a Man Killed by a Snake" is a significant oil on canvas painting by the French Baroque artist Nicolas Poussin, completed in 1648. This work is notable for its dramatic representation of a pastoral scene disrupted by a sudden tragedy, encapsulating Poussin's mastery of landscape painting and his philosophical exploration of human vulnerability and the unpredictability of nature. The painting measures 118.1 cm × 197.8 cm (46.5 in × 77.9 in) and is part of the collection at the National Gallery in London.

The composition of the painting is divided into two contrasting halves: the idyllic, serene landscape on the left, and the chaotic, darkened scene of the snake attack on the right. In the foreground, a man lies dead, having been bitten by a large snake, while other figures react in horror or flee from the scene. This juxtaposition of the peaceful countryside with the violent incident creates a powerful narrative and invites contemplation on the themes of mortality and the coexistence of beauty and danger in the natural world.

Poussin's use of light and shadow, as well as his attention to detail in the rendering of trees, buildings, and figures, contributes to the overall impact of the painting. The artist's classical influences are evident in the ordered composition and the inclusion of ancient ruins, which add a timeless quality to the scene and reflect his ongoing engagement with the art and literature of antiquity.

"Landscape with a Man Killed by a Snake" is a prime example of Poussin's work during his mature period, where he developed a more somber and contemplative approach to his subjects. The painting has been widely studied for its thematic complexity and is considered a masterpiece of 17th-century French art, offering insight into Poussin's philosophical interests and his ability to convey profound messages through the medium of landscape painting.
