In the work of the Frenchman Adolf Bugero “Music and Literature” depict humanized arts, the most common and significant for humanity, along with painting, of course. His heroines gave the author beautiful bodies and an ordinary appearance. They are woven of refined features and a penetrating gaze, femininity and at the same time rigor and rigidity.
Literature and music performed by the painter can not be attributed to the muses or goddesses. After all, literature in Greek mythology had several features, dividing into many kinds of poetry, including love and lyric poetry. And Euterpe, at all, represented a unity of command and music, and lyrical poetry. To say that Bouguerot doubled Euterpe’s integrity is impossible, so it remains to speculate about his attachment to various allegories and personifications, as in this canvas. And so, two women, two hypostases of inanimate art came to mind Adolf Bugero in the image of a tender and understandable viewer.
Music has more subtle features. She is a burning brunette with white skin, dressed in the spirit of ancient Greek women. Hands of music are gentle, and fingers are musically – trembling. On the thigh she supported a small cithara. However, the instrument has only five strings, which is historically not true. Kifara has a complex shape and intricate carving. For writing Music keeps the scroll, with the already written music camp. Judging by how the personification of music is kept, you can hear in her performance only a lyrical, calm melody, somewhere touching, and sometimes heavy.
Literature seems more youthful with a teenage swelling of the face. The complicated styling of curly hair is akin to the Roman one, although Rome and Greece in the embodiment of the decoration and outfits differed little. What does the girl hold in her hands? It is a wooden thin board covered with fragrant wax and a stick with a sharp end. Wands for writing a lot, they are crowded at the feet of the Literature in anticipation of beautiful phrases. Such a plot is good for the school class of humanities or music, the city library and the museum, but there is not much meaning in it.
The canvas is beautifully and talently written without the sharp “cries” of the palette. It, rather, lulls, rather than invigorates and spins a fine thread of communication with the world of beauty. But there are no sounds of the music depicted in the image of the virgin, and there is no versification from the letters. Here there is a sample of academic and talent Bouguereau – master of animating inanimate.
