Renoir | Landscapes with Figures

"If you paint the leaf on a tree without using a model, your imagination will only supply you with a few leaves; but Nature offers you millions, all on the same tree.

No two leaves are exactly the same.

The artist who paints only what is in his mind must very soon repeat himself"

- Pierre-Auguste Renoir.

Colors | Yellow

Claude Monet | Yellow Irises, 1917

Yellow is the color between orange and green on the spectrum of visible light.

It is evoked by light with a dominant wavelength of roughly 570-590 nm.

It is a primary color in subtractive color systems, used in painting or color printing.

In the RGB color model, used to create colors on television and computer screens, yellow is a secondary color made by combining red and green at equal intensity.

Carotenoids give the characteristic yellow color to autumn leaves, corn, canaries, daffodils, and lemons, as well as egg yolks, buttercups, and bananas.

They absorb light energy and protect plants from photodamage.

Sunlight has a slight yellowish hue when sun is near a horizon, due to atmosphere scattering shorter wavelengths (green, blue, and violet).

Michał Świder

Michał Świder (1962-2019) è stato un pittore Polacco, diplomato all'Accademia di Belle Arti di Cracovia.

Le figure allegoriche dei suoi affreschi e delle sue tele si muovono con raffinata eleganza, sono leggermente idealizzati puri ed angelici.

Già al primo incontro con le sue opere uno è colpito dalla sua incredibile raffinatezza e metafisicità.

Tutto sembra essere immerso in una totale freddezza, ferma nell'incantesimo, nella meditazione, nel dolore.

Le figure allegoriche dei suoi affreschi e tele si muovono con eleganza raffinata, leggera e silenziosa. Sono leggermente idealizzate, pure e angeliche.

Volti: umani, angeli, androgeni e santi sono il riflesso dell'anima dell'uomo (artista), sono la sintesi lirica dei suoi sentimenti, degli stati d'animo, della considerazione e delle esperienze.

In particolare nei suoi dipinti basati sulle impressioni locali, si osserva che va oltre le sue azioni quotidiane e crea dipinti originali in cui il suo spirito, coscienza, capacità ed istinti vengono alla luce.

La vicinanza ai valori tradizionali di Taşkıran è evidenziata agli occhi della critica come capacità di ritrarre uno stile pittorico unico.

Ilya Repin (Russian, 1844 -1930)

Ilya Yefimovich Repin /Илья Ефимович Репин was a Russian realist painter. He was the most renowned Russian artist of the 19th century, when his position in the world of art was comparable to that of Leo Tolstoy in literature.

His major works include Barge Haulers on the Volga (1873), Religious Procession in Kursk Province (1883) and Reply of the Zaporozhian Cossacks (1880–1891).

Repin persistently searched for new techniques and content to give his work more fullness and depth. Repin had a set of favorite subjects, and a limited circle of people whose portraits he painted. But he had a deep sense of purpose in his aesthetics, and had the great artistic gift to sense the spirit of the age and its reflection in the lives and characters of individuals.

Daniel Ridgway Knight | La sosta, 1890

Dopo i primi successi artistici di Daniel Ridgway Knight a Parigi, Jean-Louis-Ernest Meissioner lo invitò a trasferirsi a Poissy, una città rurale non lontana dai confini della città.

Il famoso Meissonier è stato colpito dal talento di Ridgway Knight e ha offerto il suo consiglio protetto e una sfida: dipingere un'immagine di grandi dimensioni da un recente schizzo.

Ridgway Knight raggiunse audacemente l'obiettivo del suo mentore, e il conseguente dipinto del 1875, Les Laveuses (venduto in queste sale il 25 aprile 2006, lotto 142) lo mise in una nuova direzione, informando una serie di composizioni multi-figurali ambiziose e complesse, come il presente lavoro.

Henri Fantin-Latour | Cherries, 1883

Henri Fantin-Latour | Cherries, 1883 | Victoria and Albert Museum

"Cherries" is a fine example of Fantin-Latour's paintings of flower, a category in which he progressively specialised executing up to 500 floral compositions.

This painting shows a cherry branch with cherries and leaves whose bright red and green contrast against the plain white background.

This effect of light and colour are characteristic of the new naturalism developed in French art in the second half of the 19th century, which anticipate the Impressionists' new experimentations.

"Cherries" was probably painted in Paris in Fantin-Latour's studio.

It shows a branch of cherry tree with cherries and leaves, the motif being cut off on the edges.

It is one of the three paintings the South Kensington School of Design, now Victoria and Albert Museum, acquired as a model for its students.

They all share the characteristic of presenting a single plant rather than a bouquet, depicted without a vase or table, on a plain background.

Here the artist focused his attention on the contrast between the brilliant colours of the cherries and the almost white background, pervading the picture with a strong luminosity.

Henri Fantin-Latour | Self-Portrait, 1858

Henri Fantin-Latour | Self-Portrait, 1858 | Metropolitan Museum of Art

At the beginning of his career, between 1854 and 1861, Fantin-Latour executed a large number of self-portraits in chalk, charcoal, and oil.

This example reveals his fascination with the work of Rembrandt and Courbet, who both used broad, rich strokes of paint and depicted forms as if they were emerging from an enveloping darkness. | Metropolitan Museum of Art

Henri Fantin-Latour (1836-1904)

A contemporary of the Impressionists, the French artist Henri Fantin-Latour was notable for his flower paintings and group portraits of the Paris intellectuals of the period.

The son of Théodore Fantin-Latour, also an artist, who initiated him in the art of painting, he studied at the École de Dessin in Paris.

However, he derived his real training from copying the classical works of the Great Masters in the Musée du Louvre, particularly Titian and Veronese.

Later, in 1861, he was a disciple of Gustave Courbet for a while, although his discreet, intimate realism was very different from that of his master and caused them to go their separate ways very soon.

Peter Mork Monsted (1859-1941)

Peder Mørk Mønsted (Balle Mølle, 10 dicembre 1859 - Fredensborg, 20 giugno 1941) è stato uno tra i rappresentanti del periodo d'oro della pittura Danese e fu noto come paesaggista.

Mønsted difficilmente può essere collegato alla pittura di paesaggio accademica perché venne molto influenzato dall'Impressionismo francese.

William Bouguereau | Tricoteuse Bretonne, 1871

Curious to experience the uniquely preserved language, religion, and traditions of Brittany’s sixth-century Celtic ancestors, crowds of cultural tourists travelled to this province in northwestern France in the late nineteenth century.

William Bouguereau made his first journey with his family in the summer of 1866 and found himself deeply moved by the region’s coastal landscape and distinctive people, leading him to return every summer until 1870, often vacationing in the small town of Douarnenez.

In July, their final visit was interrupted by the Franco-Prussian War prompting Bouguereau’s return to Paris in July to enlist in the National Guard, putting his artistic career on hiatus.

William Bouguereau | Tricoteuse, 1873

Shortly after Adolphe William Bouguereau🎨 (French Academic painter, 1825-1905) completed Tricoteuse, in 1874, Goupil transferred the painting to their gallery in The Hague and sold it to the Poortman family. Tricoteuse has remained in The Netherlands ever since and with the same family for nearly a century.

No doubt with the help of his powerful dealer, Goupil, Bouguereau was being acquired by many collectors in The Netherlands at this time.

Louis Béroud | The Copyists in the Louvre, 1909

After visiting the Louvre, an American visitor noted that:

"along the galleries are numerous temporary stands, easels, etc., at which artists are constantly at work copying such paintings as they may have orders for, or hope to find purchasers for" (as quoted in Barbara Stern Shapiro, Pleasures of Paris: Daumier to Picasso, Boston, 1991, p. 108).
