THE MODELS - N.C / N°21-S2 Painting

"THE MODELS" (N ° 21): Here, in this new anachronistic pictorial context, two old works reappear: "Family portrait" by Rembrandt and a small fragment of "The Art of Painting" by Vermeer. A well-known painting in which the artist represents himself painting from a female model in his studio ... The fragments of female nudes around refer to this recurring theme of "model" and mimesis in the history of painting, and to the ideal of feminine beauty. But this "model" is also expressed here in the figure of the fairly realistic mother of a family painted by Rembrandt. Thus, there are “female models” with very different symbolic and artistic ambitions. The representation of female breasts certainly brings an erotic connotation, but also refers to the maternal breast, at the sight of this mother surrounded by her children represented by Rembrandt ... (Iconographic references: REMBRANDT, Portrait de famille, 1668-69, Herzog Anton Ulrich Museum, Brunswick; J. Vermeer, The Art of Painting, 1666-68, Kunsthistoriches Museum, Vienna, Austria). - "It should not be said that the past illuminates the present or that the present illuminates the past.
