Sinossi
Excerpt from Greuze and His Models
The Greuze girl is the fairest flower that bloomed in the dawn Of democratic art - a Venus of the common people Of eighteenth-century Paris. The artist devoted all the resources of his talent to immortalise the type and the gods rewarded his devotion, like that Of another Pygmalion, by causing the sweet white flesh to glow and blossom into life under the caress Of his brush. And SO she became his for ever.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the life and artistry of Jean-Baptiste Greuze, a prominent figure in 18th-century French art. The author places Greuze within the context of his era, contrasting his work with that of contemporaries like François Boucher, whose depictions of mythological and aristocratic themes epitomized the Rococo style. Greuze distinguished himself by portraying scenes from everyday life, particularly those centered around the domesticity and morality of the common people. His paintings, often featuring young women on the cusp of adulthood, challenged the prevailing artistic trends and sparked debates about the role of art in society. The author explores Greuze's artistic development, tracing his journey from early influences to his rise as a celebrated painter. This book examines the thematic depth of Greuze's work, exploring his focus on innocence, virtue, and the complexities of human emotion. The author delves into the controversies surrounding Greuze's portrayal of women, analyzing the interplay between aesthetics and morality in his art. Through a close examination of Greuze's paintings and their historical context, this book offers valuable insights into the evolving artistic landscape of 18th-century France and the enduring power of art to reflect and shape societal values.
