Camille Felix Bellanger: Les contours irr¨¦guliers du support accentuent le caract¨¨re attachant de ce portrait. Comme si le souvenir de cet homme âg¨¦ au regard plein d'intelligence et de bont¨¦ semblait vouloir r¨¦sister aux attaques du temps et continuer ¨¤ nous accompagner de son affection bienveillante.
La technique de Bellanger est ici sans faille. La tr¨¨s l¨¦g¨¨re usure du dessin n'alt¨¨re en rien le prodigieux travail de l'artiste. La perfection formelle de ce portrait n'est en rien gratuite. C'est elle qui permet ¨¤ l'artiste non seulement de brosser le portrait physique de son mod¨¨le mais ¨¦galement de lui associer un portrait psychologique particuli¨¨rement subtil.
Irregular contours of the support accentuate the attaching nature of this portrait. As if the memory of this old man with his eyes full of intelligence and kindness was willing to resist the attacks of time and to continue to accompany us with his benevolent affection.
The technique of Bellanger is flawless. The slight wear of the drawing does not deteriorate in any way the extraordinary work of the artist. The formal perfection of this portrait is not gratuitous. It makes it possible to the artist not only to brush the physical portrait of his model but also to give us a particularly subtle psychological portrait of him.
Ce portrait acquis en m¨ºme temps que le pr¨¦c¨¦dent en est certainement le pendant. Ce couple d'aïeux d¨¦gage une impression g¨¦n¨¦rale d'humanit¨¦. Cette femme âg¨¦e ne regarde pas le spectateur. Contrairement au dessin pr¨¦c¨¦dent elle ne sollicite aucunement son regard et pourtant cette distance n'emp¨ºche en rien qu'il ne se d¨¦gage de son portrait la m¨ºme impression de bont¨¦ tranquille et solide.
Ces deux portraits attachants renverront beaucoup de spectateurs ¨¤ l'image universelle d'anc¨ºtres id¨¦aux et rassurants.
This portrait purchased at the same time as the precedent is certainly its counterpart. A deep feeling of humanity emanates from this couple of ancestors. This old woman does not look at us. Contrary to the preceding drawing this one does not request our glance and yet this distance does not prevent the same impression of quiet and solid kindness to emerge from this portrait.
These two charming portraits will bring back many of us to the image of ideal and reassuring ancestors.
