Painted canvas, pastoral, provencal scene, trompe l'oeil frame, re-lined. The theme of pastoral care finds its source in ancient literature, such as Virgil's eclogues. In painting, the pastoral evokes an idealized country world where ancient ruins, nymphs and gods often appear. The princes of the time can be represented with the attributes of shepherds or shepherdesses. Another reading can also seek political and sociological connotations. The pastoral care can be interpreted as the romantic refuge of court society. The Regent, Philippe d'Orléans himself engaged in drawing and engraving as an amateur, even participating in the revival of the genre by illustrating, in 1714, a reissue of Pastoral Love by Daphnis and Chloé de Longus. In the 18th century, pastoral care joined in favor of Rousseauist themes and took shape with Marie-Antoinette's sheepfold in Versailles. Pastoral poetry abounds with political overtones which are as many critiques of power. Beneath its apparent simplicity, the genre conceals a hidden meaning that allows it to deliver, beyond its playful tone, a subversive message through allegory and metaphor. Pastoral work actually plays a political and social function: it subtly denounces in an inoffensive form the end of the reign of Louis XIV. In this sense, pastoral care carries an ideological charge and is a bearer of meaning and values. The success of the genre coincides with the growing contestation, orchestrated by the future Regent, by a society at odds with the reign of the old king, through a theme that sets out his aspirations for change by reflecting his vision of the world. The pastoral genre, which accompanied Philippe d’Orléans’s rise to power, died out soon after he came to power. XVIII century, Provence, France. Height: 248 cm (97,6 in) Width: 248 cm (97,6 in)

Gipsoteca Di Milano The Fumagalli & Dossi gypsotheque has a long history. In 1927, when the famous Vallardi gypsotheque closed, two former craftsmen, Gariboldi and Bertolazzi, kept part of the vast collection, thus creating their own gallery. Since then, the workshop in Viale Montello 4 in Milan has gone through the years, passing from generation to generation. Today, Fumagalli & Dossi produces workshop plasters for art schools. Our cast comes from the first part of this story and is dated to the 1930s. A small lack at the base.

Antinous in Dionysus

Plaster bust of Antinoüs

Antinous is the favorite of Emperor Hadrian. In fact of his beauty, he drowned in the Nile under mysterious circumstances ... He was deified by the Egyptians who saw in the drowned people of the Nile the servants of Osiris. Hadrian founded Antinoupolis on the banks of the river and encouraged the new religion by multiplying the works of art celebrating the beauty of the young man.

The Greeks recognize in Antinous an avatar of Hermes and the Romans will present his worship to him, the last before the arrival of Christianity. The young man continues to personify the ideal beauty. The Fumagalli & Dossi Gypsothèque has a long history.

Her abundant hair is made of long wavy locks, some of which are pulled back to the top of the forehead and tied, probably not to avoid the generosity in the action. This type of hairstyle is frequently found in Aphrodires in the bath or Artemis hunting.

Portrait of a young man, circa 1830

Portrait of a young man, circa 1830

Oil on canvas "Portrait of a young man", original frame.
In the 19th century, the attention of the artist, and therefore of the viewer, focused on the face, whose expression, gaze, smile or pout reveal the deep character of the model. The ornaments, the attributes and the decorations of the portraits of the 18th century lose importance, the formats find smaller dimensions and allow the gaze to focus on the central character of the painting, it is particularly remarkable in this portrait which shows above all, the interior being of the model, an "inhabited" man whose soul continues to question us. His feelings are still palpable and keep their mystery.

This man's ambivalence is particularly noticeable in his gaze, so vulnerable on one side, so piercing on the other. It is in this subtle way that the painter underlines the complexity of this man ... beware of the sleeping water!

The "Lucca style", a mixture of the Empire and Tuscan style, owes its appearance to Elisa Bonaparte, Napoleon's little sister. Élisa ruled the Principality of Lucca and Piombino, created by Napoleon, between 1805 and 1814. In 1806, he attached the Duchy of Massa and the Marquisate of Carrara to the possessions of his sister. Napoleon defined her as the best of his ministers, before a clear deterioration in their relations from 1811. Élisa used the style and method of her brother in introducing French laws and institutions into the principality and reorganizing administrative, bureaucratic and judicial structures. She is the only sister of Napoleon to have possessed real political powers. Passionate about the arts, she encouraged them in the territories over which she reigned, her great influence is also found in the so-called Lucca furniture, always in great demand.

Pair of child portraits, 19th century

Pair of children's portraits Alexander Bida.
This pair comes from the collection of Jean-Claude Brialy, strange coincides ... it was a great friend of Yveline. Jean-Claude Brialy is a French actor, director, screenwriter and writer, (1933-2007). Coming from the New Wave of French cinema, he has appeared in more than two hundred films and worked with the greatest directors: Louis Malle, Claude Chabrol, François Truffault, or Eric Rohmer, Philippe de Broca ...

Orientalist painter, Alexandre Bida is a student of Eugène Delacroix. He exhibited at the Universal Exhibitions of 1855 and 1867, in 1867 he presented the drawing The Massacre of the Mamluks, evocation of the massacre of March 1, 1811 in Cairo, which is currently in the Louvre, Department of Graphic Arts. This pair of portraits is a private commission, unrelated to his work. The portrait of a child became a genre appreciated in Europe in the 16th century, it was during the Enlightenment that it developed in France. Small models are however still very often subject to the codes of the official portrait, showing them in their best educated light. The accentuated taste for more intimate representations at the end of the Ancien Régime, and the development of family feeling, thanks to the gradual decline in infant mortality, place the child at the center of the picture. From the 19th century, painters no longer sought to disguise it as an adult or a small picturesque subject, but sought its truth. The urban bourgeoisie, however, continues to strike a pose ... but Bida has captured the tender melancholy of one and the gentleness of our little girl.
