Capri Lace Maker

Artist: George B. Butler (American, 1838–1907)

Date: 1884

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: The Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland, Ohio, United States

Description

George Butler studied with the American artist Thomas Hicks in New York City before going to Paris in 1859 to study with Thomas Couture, whose most famous pupils included Édouard Manet and Puvis de Chavannes. He returned to the United States and served in the Union Army during the Civil War, at which point he lost his right arm. He went to Italy in 1875, where he remained for a number of years. During his stay abroad, Butler painted Capri Lace Maker. Although to a contemporary viewer this work may seem to be a fairly traditional, conservative composition, the bravura of the brushwork and the thick layers of pigment mark the European influence on Butler's style.

     Santa Maria Assunta, Torcello

Mater dolorosa, here I am hungry And ill-disposed on worn flags at your feet. Through high windows wintry sun seeps in And floods the six-tiered polychrome Apocalypse, This Sunday's text in comic strip.

That's my son over by the door, impatient To be off somewhere. Other boys pose On attila's Throne while their fathers snap pictures And mothers price lace - clotheslines of lace Strung from trucks selling pizzas.

Around the lagoon, your fields have grown wild; Vines redden on half-fallen fences That no longer keep the allotments apart. On some islands the women make lace, punti in aria - stitches in air - Materializing the spaces between things.

Vasily Tropinin. Lace maker. 1823. State Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow.

This painting belongs to the genre portraits, new type of portrait created by V.A.Tropinin. A character of the genre portrait is not a specific person but belongs to one of the generalized and idealized human types. Here the nice-looking young girl is staring archly at the viewer. Her figure and movements are full of grace. The image of young and charming simple commoner is linked with the traditions of Sentimentalism. In his "Lace maker" Tropinin embodied the poetry of simplicity and pleasant home life. He showed some interest in the milleu which usually surrounds people. It’s obvious that the still life with scissors in the foreground was interesting for Tropinin no less than the beautiful lace maker.

The lacemaker. She holds a long piece in her hands, and there seems to be another something rolled up in the basket on the desk. Clearly she is a lady of leisure, the lacemaking would be a hobby not a necessity. A carbon photograph by Baudoux of jersey 1876 - 1878.
