 Nicolas Poussin painted Paysage avec Orion aveugle cherchant le soleil ( 1658 ) ( " Landscape with blind Orion seeking the sun " ) , after learning of the description by the 2nd @-@ century Greek author Lucian , of a picture of Orion recovering his sight ; Poussin included a storm @-@ cloud , which both suggests the transient nature of Orion 's blindness , soon to be removed like a cloud exposing the sun , and includes Natalis Comes ' esoteric interpretation of Orion as a storm @-@ cloud . Poussin need not have consulted Lucian directly ; the passage is in the notes of the illustrated French translation of Philostratus ' Imagines which Poussin is known to have consulted . The Austrian Daniel Seiter ( active in Turin , Italy ) , painted Diane auprès du cadavre d 'Orion ( c.1685 ) ( " Diana next to Orion 's corpse " ) , pictured above .
