Kuniyoshi utagawa. Romans during the Decadence - Google Arts & Culture. Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre. A Session of the Painting Jury - Google Arts & Culture. Created in 1699, the Salon was, in the latter half of the 19th century, the only exhibition, both popular and institutional, that allowed artists to make their work known.

A Session of the Painting Jury - Google Arts & Culture

A Session of the Painting Jury by Gervex shows the importance of the event and the reaction of the members of the jury awarding prizes, as well as that of the art critics writing for newspapers. This show reflects the official taste with several paintings acquired by the French State following the Salon for the Musée du Luxembourg, which was devoted to the contemporary art of the time. For a long time considered as a place where Academism was promoted, the Salon in fact allowed the confrontation of diverse artistic experiments. As they chose subjects from the Antiquity or the Bible, some artists renewed traditional formulae by their style and composition, while others favoured more recent or contemporary events.

He would set up his easel out in the countryside or in his garden. Large Nude - Google Arts & Culture. Renoir's female nudes, a favourite motif throughout his career, were more often painted in outdoor light than inside a room.In the 1890s, Gustave Geffroy described his models as "instinctive little beings, at once children and women".

Later, his work became more ample, tracing its descent from Rubens and Titian. For this almost buxom nude, Renoir gave up touches of bright colours and restricted his palette to a harmonious range of more subtle tones. The body bathed in a gentle, warm light is lying on soft cushions like a jewel in a casket. Supple and elegant, the reclining figure is closer to Ingres's odalisques than Manet's Olympia. This chaste rather than voluptuous nude is no doubt the last and most elaborate version of a series of three paintings executed between 1903 and 1907, one of which is in the Musée d'Orsay.

This Large Nude thus enables us to understand Renoir's development towards a style nourished by references to classical art.

Turning his back on the then-dominant Italian models, he plunges into the then old-fashioned tradition of Hieronymus Bosch’s world. An apparently inextricable mixture of persons and shapes offers itself to our bewildered gaze. Emerging from distant depths in a halo of light, monsters are thrown to earth as from a breaking wave. Marc Chagall’s Ceiling for the Paris Opéra - 1st series of panels - Google Arts & Culture. In 1960, the Minister of Cultural Affairs André Malraux made what in those days was the bold as well as spectacular gesture of commissioning Marc Chagall to paint a new ceiling for the Opéra.

True, there was a recent precedent, the rather unsuccessful ceiling painted for the Louvre’s Salle Henri II by George Braque in 1952. And in fact, Malraux would follow up the year after and commission André Masson to do a ceiling for the Théâtre de l’Odéon. Was this an attempt to smash open the orderly but closed world created by Charles Garnier? A media coup at a time when the media were taking over the world. An act of sacrilege? La Moisson - Google Arts & Culture. Ce panneau fait partie d'une série représentant les saisons ou les périodes de l'année, commandée à Bruegel par le marchand anversois Nicolaes Jonghelinck.

La Moisson - Google Arts & Culture

La série comprend six œuvres, dont cinq nous sont parvenues. Les quatre autres tableaux sont Les Jours sombres, Les Chasseurs dans la neige, La Rentrée des troupeaux (Musée de l’histoire de l’art - Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienne) et La Fenaison (Collections Lobkowicz, Prague). Cet ensemble de tableaux marque un tournant dans l'histoire de l'art occidental. Le prétexte religieux pour la peinture de paysages a été abandonné en faveur d'un nouvel humanisme ; la description par Bruegel de cette scène de la vie locale, loin d'être idéalisée, est fondée sur l'observation de la nature.
