John Singer Sargent (/ˈsɑrdʒənt/; January 12, 1856 – April 14, 1925) was an American artist, considered the "leading portrait painter of his generation" for his evocations of Edwardian era luxury.[1][2] During his career, he created roughly 900 oil paintings and more than 2,000 watercolors, as well as countless sketches and charcoal drawings. His oeuvre documents worldwide travel, from Venice to the Tyrol, Corfu, the Middle East, Montana, Maine, and Florida.

His parents were American, but he was trained in Paris prior to moving to London. Sargent enjoyed international acclaim as a portrait painter, although not without controversy and some critical reservation; an early submission to the Paris Salon, his "Portrait of Madame X", was intended to consolidate his position as a society painter, but it resulted in scandal instead. From the beginning his work was characterized by remarkable technical facility, particularly in his ability to draw with a brush, which in later years inspired admiration as well as criticism for a supposed superficiality. His commissioned works were consistent with the grand manner of portraiture, while his informal studies and landscape paintings displayed a familiarity with Impressionism. In later life Sargent expressed ambivalence about the restrictions of formal portrait work, and devoted much of his energy to mural painting and working en plein air. He lived most of his life in Europe.

이정도면 아주 작은 사이즈의 그림이다.

하지만 여인의 자세에서 부터 바라보는 각도

그리고 주조를 이루는 백색과 연분홍색의 밝고 산뜻한 느낌

아름다운 여인을 그렸다기 보다는 

정말 행복하고 아름다운 '순간'을 사진 찍듯이 

심상으로 담아내 그림으로 표현 한 듯한 그림이다.

John Singer Sargent 의 아름다운 그림들 중에서도 특히 눈에 

들어와 

오랫동안 바라보게 만드는 그림이다. 

바라보면 

행복하게 만든다. 가볍고. 생명감 넘치는...

Barge Haulers on the Volga or Burlaki (Russian: Burlaki na Volge, Бурлаки на Волге) is an 1870–1873 oil-on-canvas painting by the Russian realist painter and sculptor Ilya Repin. The work depicts 11 labouring men dragging a barge on the Volga River. The men seem to almost collapse forward in exhaustion under the burden of hauling a large boat upstream in heavy, hot weather.[1][2]

The work is both a celebration of the men's dignity and fortitude, and a highly emotional condemnation of those who sanctioned such inhumane labour.[3] Although they are presented as stoical and accepting, the men are largely defeated; only one stands out: in the centre of both the row and canvas, a brightly coloured youth fights against his leather binds and takes on a heroic poise.

Repin conceived the painting during his travels through Russia as a young man and depicts actual characters he encountered. It drew international praise for its realistic portrayal of the hardships of working men, and launched his career.[4] Soon after its completion, the painting was purchased by Grand Duke Vladimir Alexandrovich and exhibited widely throughout Europe as a landmark of Russian realist painting. Barge Haulers on the Volga has been described as "perhaps the most famous painting of the Peredvizhniki movement [for]....its unflinching portrayal of backbreaking labour".[5]

처음 이 그림을 보고 깜짝 놀랬다. 구 한말 선교사가 조선에 와서 그린 그림인가 ??

뒷편에 풍차를 보니 좀 이상하고

구한말에 이렇게 여러명의 조선처녀들이 유럽으로 유학을 간 것인가 싶기도 하고

길게 땋은 머리에 검은 치마에 흰 저고리...

저기 수사 뒤에 꼬마가 입은 옷도 확실히 내가 아는 한복인데...

다만 자세히 보면 저고리에 옷고름이 없다.

작품 설명에는 에스토니아의 한 지방에서 그린거라고 한다..

참 묘한 그림이다.

들여다 볼수록 오만가지 생각이 다 들게 하는 그림이다.

가장 폭력스럽게 장난을 칠 수 있는 나이의 그리고 아주 평범한 소년 둘이

흰옷을 입고 축 처진 날개를 가진 아름다운 금발의 소녀 모습을 한 천사를 지고 간다.

소년들은 뽀루퉁한 표정이고 마치 집에 가면 부모님께 실컷 한차례 매 찜질을 기다리는 듯한...

오히려 천사의 표정은 눈을 안대로 가리고 있음에도 차분해 보인다.

날개의 붉은 색으로 날개에도 상처를 입었을 것이라고 추측 해 볼 수도 있다.

이 그림은 소년들의 악몽일까 ?

천사의 악몽일까?

아니면 평범한 어른들의 악몽일까?
