EDITORS COMMENTS
Tournant de rivière (Turn of the River) by Felix Francois Georges Philibert Ziem is a stunning oil on wood painting from the 19th century, showcasing the artistic brilliance of the Barbizon School. The recto side of the canvas depicts a serene and picturesque scene of a river bend, where the setting sun casts a warm, golden glow over the water surface. Boats, both sailing and transporting goods, dot the river, adding a sense of movement and activity to the tranquil scene. The verso side of the painting reveals three studies, offering a glimpse into Ziem's creative process. The artist's mastery of color and light is evident in these preliminary sketches, which showcase the same river scene at different times of day. The reflection of the sunset on the water's surface is captured with remarkable detail, adding depth and dimension to the studies. Ziem's painting is a testament to the Barbizon School's focus on naturalism and the beauty of the French countryside. The use of oil paint on wood material adds to the richness and texture of the work, making it a valuable addition to any art collection. This painting is now housed in the Petit Palais in Paris, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world. The painting's title, "Tournant de rivière," suggests a sense of transition or change, which is reflected in the setting sun and the boats on the river. The painting also invites viewers to reflect on the passage of time and the interconnectedness of the natural world and human activity. The painting's yellow hues add a sense of warmth and vitality, making it a standout piece of 19th-century art.
