Pont Tabatinguera

ID: #6036 | Romantisme | Architecture

Le tableau représente une vieille maison de campagne dont les plâtres sont délabrés et le mur patiné caractéristique. La structure de briques et de bois est manifestement en mauvais état. Devant la maison, un terrain en friche mène à une petite rivière et à un petit pont à l'arrière-plan. La peinture en relief souligne la texture des matériaux et l'aspect rustique du site. Le ciel est couvert de nuages doux, indiquant le début de la soirée.

Brazilian artist José Ferraz de Almeida Júnior (1850-1899) started painting when he worked as a bell ringer at the church of Our Lady of Candelaria. In his free time, he painted several small paintings with religious themes. The chief priest was so impressed with his work that he organized a collection enabling Júnior to attend drawing lessons. In 1869, he studied at the Academia Imperial de Belas Artes. After graduation, he opened his own studio in order to earn a trip to Europe. In 1876, he exhibited in Sao Paulo, where he came to the attention of the Emperor Pedro II. He was so fascinated by his paintings, for example Yearning and Waterfalls, that he offered Júnior financial support. This fulfilled his dream to travel to Paris and study at the Beaux-Arts. After returning to Brazil in 1882, he gave lessons in his studio. He didn’t leave Sao Paulo even when he received an offer to become a professor of art history at the Academy. His life ended violently at the hands of his cousin, who stabbed him because of a long-standing affair with his wife. For his work from the Romantic period, Júnior was awarded the title of Knight of the Rose Order from the emperor.
