around 1870 -1910 · Individual, social environment and truth of the model
The naturalist portrait observes without idealizing: face, clothing, posture and environment place a person in their age, their profession and their world, from family intimacy to fame.
The naturalism of the end of the 19th century gave the portrait a dual ambition: to restore the physical presence of a model and to show the social conditions which shaped this presence. Heirs of realism, nourished by photography, physiognomy, literature and a new culture of observation, painters often refuse automatic flattery. The resemblance is no longer enough. A worn or sumptuous garment, a chair, an interior, cold light and the way of holding the gaze become clues. Christian Krohg paints Oda Krohg with the proximity of an artistic circle; Valentin Serov paints Oda Krohg with the proximity of an artistic circle; Valentin Serov captures in the child Mika Morozov an energy that goes beyond pose; Thomas Eakins associates Max Schmitt with the effort and measured space of the river. In the portraits of Jules Bastien-Lepage, Sarah Bernhardt or Victor Hugo retain their fame while appearing as singular bodies, subject to fatigue, age or attention. National traditions differ: French precision, Nordic frankness, Russian psychology or American rigor. However, they all ask the same question: how to transform the workshop session into a credible encounter? This collection thus brings together known and anonymous faces, Nordic frankness, Russian psychology or American rigor. However, they all ask the same question: how to transform the workshop session into a credible encounter? However, this collection brings together well-known and anonymous faces, self-portraits and portraits of loved ones, where the truth is constructed through detail as much as through the relationship between painter and model. The "Naturalist Portraits" selection notably compares Portrait of Oda Krohg and Max Schmitt in a skiff. His reading favors figures.
The naturalist portrait does not only copy a face: it seeks the moment when posture, gaze and environment make a person impossible to confuse.
