Pastoral, rural work and Arcadia · Renaissance to modern art
Shepherds and shepherdesses embody in turn daily work, the pastoral ideal, philosophical meditation and the ancient link between man, animal and landscape.
The figure of the shepherd spans the history of art since ancient civilizations. In European painting, it can evoke ideal Arcadia, biblical stories, mythology or real rural work. Poussin transforms them shepherds as philosophers facing the tomb; Claude Lorrain and Berchem place them in luminous landscapes; Boucher and Fragonard invent a gallant pastoral. In the 19th century, Millet seriously observed the shepherdess at work, Bouguereau idealizes peasant youth and Van Gogh reinterprets Millet with a more expressive color. The "Shepherds and Shepherdesses" selection notably compares Bergère with his flock - Jean-François Millet and La Jeune Bergère - William Bouguereau. His reading favors figures.
The shepherd connects the figure to the landscape: his presence gives a human measure to nature, whether observed, dreamed or charged with symbol.
