Et in Arcadia sense of self (otherwise called Les bergers d'Arcadie or The Arcadian Shepherds) is a 1637–38 painting by Nicolas Poussin (1594–1665). It portrays a peaceful scene with romanticized shepherds from established artifact grouping around a grave tomb. It is held in the Louver, Paris.
Poussin painted two variants of the subject under a similar title; his prior form, painted in 1627, is held at Chatsworth House. A prior treatment of the topic was painted by Guercino around 1618–22, additionally titled Et in Arcadia self image.

The interpretation of the expression is "Even in Arcadia, there am I". The typical understanding is that "I" alludes to death, and "Shangri-la" implies an idealistic land. It would in this way be a token mori. Amid Antiquity, numerous Greeks lived in urban communities near the ocean, and drove a urban life. Just Arcadians, amidst the Peloponnese, needed urban communities, were a long way from the ocean, and drove a shepherd life. Along these lines for urban Greeks, particularly amid the Hellenistic time, Arcadia symbolized immaculate, rustic, ideal life, a long way from the city.
Be that as it may, Poussin's biographer, André Félibien, deciphered the expression to imply that "the individual covered in this tomb lived in Arcadia"; at the end of the day, that the individual too once delighted in the joys of life on earth. This perusing was basic in the eighteenth and nineteenth hundreds of years. For instance, William Hazlitt composed that Poussin "portrays a few shepherds meandering out in a morning of the spring, and going to a tomb with this engraving, 'I additionally was an Arcadian'."
The previous elucidation ("sense of self" alluding to death) is presently for the most part thought to be more probable; the equivocalness of the expression is the subject of a well known article by the workmanship student of history Erwin Panofsky (see References). In any case, the supposition was intended to set up an unexpected differentiation between the shadow of death and the typical sit without moving cheerfulness that the sprites and swains of old Arcadia were thought to typify.
Ispiration
The principal appearance of a tomb with a dedication engraving (to Daphnis) in the midst of the unspoiled settings of Arcadia shows up in Virgil's Eclogues V 42 ff. Virgil took the romanticized Sicilian rustics that had initially showed up in the Idylls of Theocritus and set them in the primitive Greek locale of Arcadia (see Eclogues VII and X). The thought was taken up over again in the hover of Lorenzo de' Medici in the 1470s, amid the Florentine Renaissance.
In his peaceful work Arcadia (1504), Jacopo Sannazaro settled the Early Modern impression of Arcadia as a lost universe of unspoiled joy, recollected in remorseful requiems. The main pictorial portrayal of the well known token mori subject that was advanced in sixteenth century Venice, now made more concrete and distinctive by the engraving ET IN ARCADIA EGO, is Guercino's adaptation, painted in the vicinity of 1618 and 1622 (in the Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Antica, Rome), in which the engraving picks up compel from the conspicuous nearness of a skull in the frontal area, underneath which the words are cut.

Poussin's own first form of the work of art (now in Chatsworth House) was most likely dispatched as a revamping of Guercino's variant. It is in a significantly more Baroque style than the later form, normal for Poussin's initial work. In the Chatsworth painting the shepherds are effectively finding the half-covered up and congested tomb, and are perusing the engraving with inquisitive expressions. The shepherdess, remaining at the left, is postured in sexually suggestive design, altogether different from her severe partner in the later form. The later form has a significantly more geometric organization and the figures are substantially more scrutinizing. The cover like face of the shepherdess complies with the traditions of the Classical "Greek profile".
Interpredation
The most vital contrast between the two variants is that in the last form, one of the two shepherds perceives the shadow of his partner on the tomb and encircles the outline with his finger. As indicated by an old custom (see Pliny the Elder, nat. Hist. XXXV 5, 15), this is the minute in which the specialty of painting is initially found. Along these lines, the shepherd's shadow is the primary picture in workmanship history. Yet, the shadow on the tomb is additionally an image of death (in the main form symbolized by a skull on the highest point of the tomb). The significance of this exceedingly many-sided sythesis is by all accounts that, from ancient times forward, the disclosure of craftsmanship has been the inventive reaction of mankind to the stunning revelation of mortality. Along these lines, demise's claim to run even Arcadia is tested by craftsmanship (symbolized by the wonderfully dressed lady), who must demand that she was found in Arcadia as well, and that she is the genuine ruler all over, while passing just usurps its energy. Even with death, craftsmanship's obligation—undoubtedly, her raison d'être—is to review missing friends and family, support nerves, bring out and accommodate clashing feelings, surmount separation, and encourage the declaration of the unutterable

The switched organization recommends that it was duplicated from an etching, the sytheses of which are ordinarily turned around on the grounds that immediate duplicates to the plate deliver perfect representations on printing.
In 1832 another help was etched as a feature of the landmark denoting Poussin's tomb in Rome, on which it shows up underneath a bust of the craftsman.
