This grave and this
landscape look like the picture Nicolas Poussin painted between 1638 and
1639 : Shepherds in Arcadia.
Recently, the tomb was destroyed by the present owner of the land who was fed up with having curious people on his private land.
Inside the tomb of Arques
in 1972 I remind you that burial place violation is forbidden by the law. I cannot tell where this photo comes from but I guarantee that it was taken at Les Pontils.
