Ó/L France "Romantic landscape" Leo Deschamps, 1871 - Signed
About the Item
Gorgeous Oil on canvas signed and dated by Leo Deschamps, 1871. The work shows a clear romantic component, with the representation of the dark forest, the mysterious character looking into infinity, which provides an aura of mystery and, in the background, a lake that It opens to a hopeful sky with clouds tinted with soft blues and whites.
The landscape representation is very characteristic of romantic painting. Despite this being a French author, his colors and soft, velvety brushstrokes echo Dutch landscape painting from the 17th century. Dutch art already carried a certain romantic component that was expressed in the intensification of the observation of nature and the emphasis on the narrative element.
We do not find the agitated fantasy and explosion of color of the French, but this painting is even closer to the mysticism of German romanticism. In the 19th century, the cloudy skies of the past are rediscovered and reinterpreted. Generally, a serene and calm atmosphere prevails in romantic landscape works, although there are more emotionally explosive examples, which is not the case in this case.
As for the central figure, it could be a biblical character, due to his appearance, since he is an old man with a long white beard and a classic tunic. He could be Noah after the flood, reflecting, due to the presence of the calm lake, a small boat in the background and a small sailing boat on the horizon, which may allude to his ark.
A really beautiful work of art!!!!!
