    Le Donne frigide del Preraffaellismo

    August 26, 2014 / 0 Comments

    Non ci sono opere più fredde che i dipinti preraffaelliti. Benchè queste donne siano belle, la loro bellezza ci lascia indifferenti. Sguardo vuoto, pelle bianca, la donna preraffaellita sembra rigida e assente. Siamo nell’Inghilterra verso la seconda metà dell’19° secolo, durante l’epoca Vittoriana. Conoscere il contesto attuale mi sembra necessario per capire l’attitudine delle donne dei dipinti preraffaelliti. Sono delle bellezze fredde, con un corpo puro, sognando altrove, sono proprietà dell’uomo. All’epoca, la società segue il modello della regina Victoria, donna frigida, madre perfetta, che si consacra all’educazione dei suoi bambini, amorosa perduta dal marito e distrutta alla sua morte (che le ha valuto il nome di “vedova di Windsor”).…

    Vers une représentation parfaite de la femme.

    November 12, 2012 / 0 Comments

    « Ramener l’esprit des gens à une bonne réflexion »  c’est ce que souhaitaient William Holman Hunt John Everett Millais  et Dante Gabriel Rossetti, les créateurs du Préraphaélisme qui apparut à Londres à la fin des années 1840. Les trois artistes, alors étudiants, souhaitaient revenir à une forme d’art conforme à celle qui existait avant Raphaël, c’est-à-dire à l’art médiéval et en particulier celui des primitifs italiens, qu’ils désignaient comme modèle de pureté et de liberté. Que représenter de plus pur, de plus poétique, de plus esthétique qu’une jeune fille virginale aux cheveux longs, d’une grâce infinie, dans une scène quotidienne ? De leur visage de porcelaine, de leurs cheveux, de leur robe…

    Prerrafaelitas ¿ñoñería o rebeldía?

    October 11, 2012 / 0 Comments

    El movimiento prerrafaelita es a la pintura lo que la narrativa gótica a la literatura. No coinciden plenamente en el tiempo pero sí en el espíritu, no en vano estos artistas del siglo XIX comparten los ideales del Romanticismo respecto a la sinceridad del arte y la utilización de la naturaleza para expresar ideas. Cualquiera que, siendo adolescente, haya observado Ofelia de Millais, se habrá visto transportado al ambiente romántico que el cuadro desprende y que recuerda a los bosques de Frankenstein de Mary Shelley. La doncella que flota ahogada en el río es un ejemplo perfecto del ideal prerrafaelita: joven, pálida, pura y bella, nos recuerda a la Kirsten…

    Women of the Pre-Raphaelite Movement: Models, Muses, Lovers, Artists

    October 11, 2012 / 2 Comments

    When you think of “Pre-Raphaelite”, what comes to mind? For me, it is male painters, female subjects, a lot of nature, and vivid colours. And for 95% percent of paintings produced by this movement, this is the reality. The key members of the group (Hunt, Millais, the two Rossettis, Collinson, Stephens, and Woolner) were all men. Together, they created a secret group called the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. Like just about every other artistic movement, the Brotherhood wanted reform. They rejected the academic styles of Raphael and artists after him, finding them idealised and corrupted. The Brotherhood sought a return to the Pre-Raphael Italian style with its vivid colours and imitation of…
