Description |
English: Jules Bordet was an art collector from Dijon. He appears here in a white shirt and pale linen jacket against a neutral background. While Courbet often portrayed women in contemplative reverie against lush landscapes, his male portraits are typically austere and sombre – the men have confidence in themselves and their social position. Bordet owned several works by Courbet. The relationship between the artist and his subject is also evident in the dedication on this painting: “To my friend J. Bordet”. Svenska: Jules Bordet var en konstsamlare från Dijon. Han framträder här i vit skjorta och ljus linnekavaj mot en neutral bakgrund. Det mörka skägget, skuggorna och den kraftfullt pålagda färgen ger porträttet dess karaktär. Medan Courbet ofta framställde kvinnor tankfullt drömmande framför lummiga landskap, präglas hans mansporträtt av stränghet och allvar – männen är säkra på sin sak och sin plats i världen. Bordet ägde flera verk av Courbet. Förhållandet mellan konstnären och modellen framgår också av en dedikation på målningen ”Till min vän J. Bordet”. |
