The Green Bodice

Julian Alden Weir American

by 1898

"This was one of eight paintings exhibited by Weir in 1898 at the first exhibition of the "Ten American Painters," held in New York at the Durand-Ruel Galleries. It was evidently painted after 1896 when the type of dress illustrated was in style. The model was the sister of the actor Henry Dixey. Weir painted her again in 1898 in "The Gray Bodice" (The Art Institute of Chicago). Another painting dated 1896 also depicts the same figure ("Interior with a Figure," Museum of Art, Rhode Island School of Design). Charles Erskine Scott Wood, a friend and patron of Weir's, admired the painting, and when the artist offered it to him at a nominal price, he refused but found a buyer for it in E.F. Millikin."

Cette peinture représente la "Bataille de Las Navas de Tolosa", un affrontement décisif qui a eu lieu le 16 juillet 1212 pendant la Reconquista espagnole. Elle fut peinte par Horace Vernet en 1817.

On y voit notamment le roi de Navarre, Sanche VII le Fort (sur le cheval blanc), et l'archevêque de Tolède, Rodrigo Jiménez de Rada.

La bataille a opposé une coalition de royaumes chrétiens (Castille, Aragon, Navarre et Portugal) aux troupes musulmanes de la dynastie berbère des Almohades, dirigées par le calife Muhammad an-Nasir.

C'est un tournant majeur de la Reconquista, marquant le début de l'effondrement de la domination almohade dans la péninsule Ibérique.

Cette victoire a ouvert le sud de l'Espagne aux rois chrétiens et a considérablement affaibli le pouvoir musulman dans la région
