PLAYING IN THE WAVES, 1883 by ARNOLD BÖCKLIN

PLAYING IN THE WAVES reveals the artist’s irreverent attitude towards his traditional sources. While the figures in the waves appear to be modeled after TRITON, a sea-god and sea-merman from GREEK mythology, there is no mythological basis for the scene.

Instead, the painting recurs to an incident that BÖCKLIN witnessed while on vacation on the ITALIAN coast with his friend ANTON DOHRN. Dohrn, a zoologist, confronted a group of female bathers by coming up to them underwater and suddenly reappearing. It is even said that the face of the Triton, whose salacious intentions seem clear, is based on DOHRN'S.

The painting’s color palette is dark and mournful, and the woman’s fear appears to be very real. The viewer feels a strange blend of sensuality, terror, and humor. The painting’s comic-gritty nature was widely discussed during the late 19th century.

The painting’s combination of close-up perspective, grand classical references, and low comedy reflects BÖCKLIN’s irreverent attitude toward aesthetic hierarchy and categorization, as well as his status as a neo-classical painter.

Beauty I had to Share

So I came across this portrait in my productivity-avoiding meanderings about the internet today.  The subject being Napoleon was not what caught my eye, it was the absolutely breathtaking texture in this painting that drew me in. Which led me to looking up the artist and viewing some of his other work.  François Gérard is the artist responsible. And I’ve spent the last hour just admiring his work.  I didn’t study art in a way that I can express what I’m seeing in the parlance, so to speak. I just know the color, the texture, the softness and the precise attention to detail blew my mind.  I look at that regal ermine robe and imagine I could wrap myself in its warmth, right from the painting.  

The artist wasn’t one I’d heard of in the past... and I’ve probably seen his work in passing in textbooks or as prints hanging somewhere. But today it caught my eye, and it was beautiful.  And now I’m happy to have learned the name  François Gérard and share it.

#[.art] #^ if the didascalia is unclear this is meant to be a portrait of sorts. Of my friend. Technically of the greek god too but same thing #Juno #<- goes in my tags soley in this way I don't have a clue of what else to put on here #with added closeups! This took me one afternoon and some. I think about four hours in total if I add up all the last-minute editing #it was going to have a more complex background but it ruined the constrast and the shapes got lost in it so I had to scrap that #alas I don't think this will work as a way to achieve endless youth but we can't /all/ turn art into devil deals #no I'm not going to stop making that joke. I think it's hilarious. #also my soundtrack for this was the Hozier youtube automated playlist. we are not escaping with our lives I fear /j #is it neoclassical or more baroque? The main inspiration was the first but the harsher contrast reminds me of the second #ah well. You can tell me that. I can't analyse my own art #my art #greek mythology #classical mythology #painting #apollo #<- i'm putting these tags back here so it doesn't show up in the search it's just for my blog organisation
