Chapter III: Illusion of Suspension and Motion in the Air (4)

Text size

represents the transition from one pose to another--he indicates
how insensibly the first glides into the second. In his work we
still see a part of what was, and we discover a part of what is to
be.

Rodin points to Rude's fine statue of Marshal Ney, and practically says that here the illusion is created by a series of progressive actions indicated in the attitude: the legs remaining as they were when the sword was about to be drawn, and the hand still holding the scabbard away from the body, while the chest is being thrown out and the sword held aloft. Thus the sculptor

compels, so to speak, the spectator to follow the development of an
act in an individual. The eyes are forced to travel upwards from
the lower limbs to the raised arm, and as in so doing they find the
different parts of the figure represented at successive instants,
they have the illusion of beholding the movement performed.

Rodin himself has followed a similar course with much success. The ancient Greek sculptors, when representing a figure in action, invariably chose a moment of rest between two progressive steps in the action. The Discobolus and Marsyas of Myron, and particularly the Atalanta in the Louvre, are fine examples.

Mengs, in referring to the arrangement of the drapery in Raphael's figures, says[a]:

With him every fold has its proper cause; either in its own weight
or in the motion of the limbs. Sometimes the folds enable us to
tell what has preceded; herein too Raphael has endeavoured to find
significance. It can be seen by the position of the folds, whether
an arm or a leg has been moved forwards or backwards into the
attitude which it actually occupies; whether a limb has been, or is
being, moved from a contracted position into a straightened one, or
whether it was extended at first and is being contracted.

NOTE 71. PAGE 258

Besides assisting in providing an illusion, the title of a picture may lend great additional interest to it. Thus in Millet's The Angelus the associations called up by the title act most powerfully on the mind, and one almost listens for the sound of the bell.[a] A work of a similar character is Bonvin's Ave Maria, where the nuns of a convent are answering the call[b]; and Horace Walker has a picture with the same title, in which a boy who is driving cattle, stops in front of a Crucifix by the wayside[c]. An excellent example of this added interest is the title of Turner's great picture of the _Temeraire_,[d] as to which R. Phillimore writes[e]:

It is not difficult to imagine the picture of an old man-of-war
towed by a steam tug up a river. The execution of such a subject
may deserve great praise and give great satisfaction to the
beholder. But add to the representation the statement that it is
"The fighting Temeraire towed to her last berth, " and a series of
the most stirring events of our national history fills our
imagination.

NOTE 72. PAGE 261

There is an antique sculptured group in the Vatican in which a precisely similar figure of the son of Niobe has his left hand on the shoulder of his sister who has fallen to her knees from the effect of a wound, and it is very reasonably suggested that the Florence figure originally formed part of a like group. But the explanation of the act given by Perry[a] and others, that the drapery was raised by the brother to shield the girl, will scarcely hold good, as the folds are spread out at the back, forming a concavity, whereas they would fall loosely if the youth were resting. Apart from this, his legs are widely separated, and in a running position. It may therefore be surmised that in the Vatican group the artist intended to represent the precise moment when the fleeing youth reached his sister.

NOTE 73. PAGE 270

It is curious that among the countless pictures of the Annunciation, in very few indeed has surprise been expressed in the countenance and attitude of the Virgin, though it is impossible to imagine an incident more properly calling for profound astonishment on the part of the principal personage in a composition, even in the absence of startling miraculous accessories such as that introduced by Rossetti. Probably the reason for this is connected with the difficulty of expressing great surprise unaccompanied with some other feeling, as pleasure, or sorrow, or fear, but there does not seem to be any cause why an exalted joyful excitement should not be exhibited. Mrs. Jameson thinks that the Virgin should not appear startled, as She was "accustomed to the perpetual ministry of Angels who daily and hourly attended on Her,"[a] but it is questionable whether this can be properly assumed by the artist, and in any case from the point of view of art, the action should correspond with the nature of the event as it is generally understood. Of the few masters who have indicated surprise in an Annunciation picture, Tintoretto has gone the farthest. He shows the Virgin with Her lips parted, and both hands held up, evidently with astonishment,[b] an example followed by Paris Bordone.[c] Raphael in an early picture represents Her holding up one hand, but the attitude might signify the reception of an announcement of importance.[d] Perugino shows Her with both hands raised, but otherwise She appears unconcerned.[e] A few other artists, including Venusti and Foppa, and among modern men, Girodet, adopt Raphael's method of composition. Rubens goes a step farther, and represents the Virgin apparently standing back with surprise, though this is only faintly suggested by the facial expression.[f]
