Around 1601 -1669 · classicism of Utrecht and Medea
Disillusioned Medea concentrates the originality of Paulus Bor: an ancient story suspended after the action, where architecture, solitude and objects replace the spectacular.
Paulus Bor works in Amersfoort and belongs to the world of Utrecht painters influenced by Italy, while developing a singular way. Medea disillusioned, sometimes brought closer to the moment when Jason abandons the heroine, refuses the expected theatrical violence. The figure sits in a vast architectural space, surrounded by objects whose meaning remains partially enigmatic. Its closed posture and the distance from the setting give the painting an afterthought temporality. Bor thus uses Antiquity as a psychological situation rather than as a pretext for action. The attribution and interpretation of details have been the subject of discussion, which recommends a careful presentation attentive to what the work actually shows. The "Paulus Bor" selection notably compares Medea disillusioned. His reading favors drawing.
In Paulus Bor, the tragedy has already passed: what remains to be painted is the silent weight of his understanding.
