bartolomeo veneto

Cand am vazut prima data tabloul, reactia mea a fost una pe masura aerului neobisnuit pe care il emana… Nu eram curioasa sa aflu pe cine a pictat Bartolomeo Veneto, ci de ce a ales sa-i desfaca minutios parul in suvite aurii rasucite si rasfirate cu grija. Ce buchetel ireal si cata gratie studiata in reprezentarea mainii personajului. Aerul enigmatic, privirea serioasa, scrutatoare, clar-obscurul si frumusetea modelului – aici in rolul Florei – sunt atributele ce completeaza prima senzatie de surprindere. Cu siguranta ca datorita celor cateva note accentuate, tabloul apare in galeria de imagini a multor bloguri. Cred ca odata descoperit, nu poate fi uitat.

amuzant

Din cand in cand gasesc in cartile pe care le citesc, sau materialele de pe net, pasaje amuzante. : )

“Unlike most Dutch still life specialists, Jan van Huysum insisted on working out the details of his paintings from close study of the world around him. He once wrote a patron to explain that her painting would be delayed a year because, unable to obtain a real yellow rose, he could not finish the picture.” – Wikipedia

 

 ”Often group portraits were paid for by each portrayed person individually. The amount paid determined each person’s place in the picture, either head to toe in full regalia in the foreground or face only in the back of the group. Sometimes all group members paid an equal sum, which was likely to lead to quarrels when some members gained a more prominent place in the picture than others.” – Wikipedia (imi imaginez ce amuzanta trebuie sa fi fost “paruiala” comandatarilor nemultumiti..)

 

Dupa ce Michelangelo a terminat Capela Sixtina, Biserica Catolica s-a indignat de goliciunea personajelor. Pentru a acoperi zonele “rusinoase” a fost angajat un pictor care a indeplinit sarcina cu pricina. Din pacate pentru el, contemporanii l-au poreclit ”chilotarul”, fiind recunoscut mai mult dupa renume, decat dupa numele sau real… : ))
