Female cloth-less: In The Water
The Artists: Eugene de Blaas was an Italian painter (1843 – 1932). Though he mostly painted portraits, his paintings mainly come under category of classicism. He was one of the recognized painters working under the
academic style
of painting.
This painting depicts a clothless woman standing in water, a pond perhaps. A tranquil water mass sea is in the background for the cloth-less female painting. The less detailed sky bright indicating the sun would be somewhere in horizon. There are a few lightly detailed clouds in the sky, less lighted than the water surface. Invisible dark lines of cloth-less figure prominently separate the female figure from blue and green water.
Here the woman is not only the object to look at. Her figures is not shown on the frame merely for depiction of the beautiful skin and curvy part of a female body. In this painting the artists has tried to show the woman doing some serious act, perhaps thinking about her life and the events to come.
The academic style of painting had originated to rebel against the set standard by the academies itself, but later it became an individual style of painting boast many master artists as its and pioneers and followers. Also known as historicism style of painting, painters like Bouguereau, Suzor-Coté, Thomas Couture, and Hans Makart were the great contributors to such paintings. In the time of Eugene the painting of women have undergone a very qualitative change.
The Art: This painting depicts a woman sitting on a wall near seashore. A tranquil water mass of the sea is in background of the thoughtful female figure. The less detailed brightness of sky indicating that sun would be somewhere in horizon. On the top of the women's head, we can see the nicely painted and detailed clouds. However the clouds are highlighted less than the water of sea. the shining water surface provides an outstanding background for a simply dressed woman body.A Pensive moments By Eugene de Blaas
The thoughtful look and condition of he wall suggest the essence of the painting. Here the act of 'waiting' seems to be the central feature of the painting. and Eugene has rightly titled this painting asA Pensive Moment. The woman painted here might be looking for her beloved to come from the sea journey and thinking about their reunion.
