''The Seven Sacraments'' refers to two series of paintings of the seven sacraments by the French painter Nicholas Poussin. ==First series== Painted between 1637 and 1640, the first series was commissioned by Cassiano del Pozzo in the second half of the 1630s and was sold to the Dukes of Rutland in 1784.〔http://www.christies.com/about/press-center/releases/pressrelease.aspx?pressreleaseid=4238〕 One of the seven, ''Penance'', was destroyed in a fire at the Rutlands' Belvoir Castle in 1816, and ''Baptism'' was acquired by the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC in 1939, where it still resides. The remaining five were still at Belvoir Castle at the time when Anthony Blunt wrote his catalogue in 1966 and then were on show at the National Gallery in London until recently. All five of these paintings in the National Gallery were taken off show in November 2010 prior to the attempted sale of ''Ordination'' on 8 December that year.〔http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leicestershire-11946061〕 ''Ordination'' was ultimately purchased by the Kimbell Art Museum for USD $24.3 million and was displayed for the first time there on September 14, 2011.〔(Poussin masterpiece from the celebrated 'Sacraments' series acquired by the Kimbell Art Museum )〕 The Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge in 2013 bought ''Extreme Unction'' from the Duke of Rutland, who retains ownership of the remaining three works in the series.
