Camille Corot - Bateau près d'une rivière

Camille Corot 1795-1875

Camille Corot - Bateau près d'une rivière, vers 1862.

huile sur toile - 38 x 55 cm

collection E.G.Buhrle,Zurich.

La toile, de grandeur moyenne, n’a sûrement pas été peinte sur le motif, comme beaucoup de petites études, et il ne s’agit pas non plus de l’un de ces paysages que Corot avait l’habitude de peindre pour le Salon. C’est un tableau exécuté de mémoire, en atelier, auquel peut s’appliquer ce qu’écrivait Maxime du Camp de Corot, dans une critique du Salon de 1864: "Son point de départ est toujours la nature, mais au moment de l’exécution il peint toujours de mémoire".

Pieter Claesz

Pieter Claesz 1596/1597-1660

Pieter Claesz - Nature morte avec Röemer et coupe d'argent et pain,1637

huile sur toile - 83 x 66 cm

musée du Prado

Pieter Claesz composed this still life with a few elements elegantly placed on the table: a glass of wine, a metal candy dish lying down and a glass upside down. These elements are distributed alongside various plates with a half-peeled lemon, olives and a piece of bread. The scattered walnuts give this representation a casual aspect.

The straightforward arrangement of the objects and the table and the general tonality of painting are the characteristic elements of this work by Claesz, making it one of the clearest examples of still lifes from the Haarlem school to which this painter belonged. Moreover, the organization of a still life around one of its forms —in this case, the large candy dish— is typical of Claesz's paintings from the sixteen thirties.

Lucian Freud - Kitty

huile sur bois 1948-1949- 35 x 24 cm

The New Art Gallery Walsall

The sitter for this early portrait by Lucian Freud is his first wife, Kitty, whom he married in 1947. Kitty was used to sitting patiently for her portrait, since she was the eldest daughter of Kathleen Garman and Jacob Epstein. Several portraits of her by her father are represented in the Garman-Ryan Collection. She possessed the wide-eyed, almost feline features which captivated the artist at the time, and became his frequent model.

The profile portrait emphasises Freud’s objective approach to portraiture, in which the sitter is scrutinised by both artist and viewer in a cold light against a characteristically bare background. The detail of hair and surface is typical of the meticulous style of his early portraits, and the peeling paint of the shutters reveals his intention to depict the world with all its imperfections, bereft of symbolism or flattery.
