the beginning of the new century. Belgium is the second most industrialized country after Great Britain and one of the world's richest nation-young-formed only in 1830, following the emancipation from Holland della provincia delle fiandre e di quella del Vallone-il Belgio vanta però una lunga e ricchissima tradizione artistica. L'avvocato Octave Maus appassionato d'arte, insieme al suo collega Edmond Picard trovano terreno fertile quando pensano di fondare un nuovo gruppo artistico "L'Art Moderne" Subito sensibili alle novità, i membri di Les XX ospitano il capolavoro di Seurat, "Una domenica pomeriggio alla Grande Jatte" nelle sale di una loro mostra del 1887 Il Pointillisme accende gli animi del gruppo, come Theo van Rysselberghe che sceglie la nuova tecnica per molti suoi dipinti, tra cui il ritratto della pittrice Anna Boch, che vediamo dentro il Capolavoro.
The cold North
Belgio e Olanda.
La lezione di Courbet e del realismo francese non passa inosservato anche nell'area fiamminga, che vanta una lunga tradizione di naturalismo pittorico
Alfred Stevens, molto vicino agli ambienti francesi, che resta il più celebre pittore di ambito realista specializzato in scene di genere dell'area belga.
Il plein air tra impressionismo e tradizioni e l'interesse per la luce è tema portante della pittura fiamminga.
La ricerca en plein air degli artisti olandesi e belgi della seconda metà dell'Ottocento affonda le sue radici più nella tradizioni di Rembrain, ruysdael, Hals e Vermerr che nella tradizione dei francesi

After studying painting at 'Academie in the Beaux Arts in Brussels from 1840 to 1844 Alfred Stevens went to Paris where he studied with Jean Dominique Ingres. On his return to Brussels in 1849, creates works historical and realistic that exhibited for the first time at the Brussels Motor Show in 1851. Based in Paris the following year became a leading figure in social circles, artistic and literary works. In 1854 he abandoned the historical themes to focus on portraits of the ladies of the Second Empire Paris. His attraction to the Japonisme is evident in the oriental decorations and accessories that depicts in detail. Since 1880, at the request of his doctor, he begins to enjoy regular holidays, first in Normandy and later in southern France. Inspired by the beauty of the coastline, made a series of marine experiencing great success in Paris. Sometimes in his compositions include characters such as the Milky Way, in which a young woman is immersed in the contemplation di un cielo stellato. OPERE oil on canvas 68 x 53 cm

Jozef israéls
(Griningen 1824-Scheveningen 1911)
Jozef Israèls, che visita Parigi e fa esperienza diretta delle novità francesi I suoi quadri propongono una sintesi tra gli spaccati sociali di Coubet e le scene di vita campreste di Mulet, pur conservando aspetti di un Realismo
ben più di maniera. Josef ebbe la sua prima formazione all'Accademia di Groninga per poi trasferirsi a Parigi all'Ecol des Beaux.Arts con Horace Vernet and Hippolyte Delaroche.Ben soon clear in his painting.
His work met the express admiration for Vincent Van Gogh, who chose it as one of its essential figurative references. Paintings by Josef Israels are in major museums around the world, including the National Gallery in London and the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam. In the middle of the century, when Jozef Israels, took his first steps as part of realistic painting, the style of Courbet and Millet does not meet the favor of official criticism, both in Belgium and France. It will be through the activity of the Société Libre des Beaux-Arts, founded in 1868, I believe that the new paint will begin to spread. Receives a enorme successo anche un Realismo di segno ben diverso da quello schietto e impegnato di Millet e Courbet: esso è rappresentato da artisti quali Henri Leys OPERE
Henri Leys, risolve il tema storico con un'analisi dettagliata del vero, in bilico fra tradizione fiamminga e accenti romantici.I fiamminghi del Quattrocento sembrano rivivere, attraverso il filtro dell'esperienza romantiche delle tele di questo artista tecnicamente assai dotato, in grado di restituire con magistrale credibilità la qualità di una stoffa o dell'epidermide di un volto.
Jozef Israels-A fisherman drowned
1861-about-London-National gallery
The observer can not remain impassive in front of such a spectacle .
The picture is a bleak beach, where a group of fishermen out of the water is carrying the body of a companion drowned, while the sea continues to simmer under a sky still heavy with gray storm clouds against a pale blue and acquoso.Il Fisherman drowned is one of the most famous paintings of Jozef Israels, that this is gained international fame. Very significant for understanding a certain kind of realism in widespread fiamminga.Una painting that can not fail to draw in the viewer a feeling of sorrow and sympathy. Everything is measured out to the widow walking corpse wrapped in a blind and mute pain that knows no tears, and points the way to the two children now orphaned, frightened at the sight of the silent pain of the mother. Can not imagine a clearer sense of what he managed to put the painter. WORKS

Musée d'Orsay, Parigi
Il passo decisivo verso il plein air e in un certo senso, verso l'impressionismo, è segnato dall'artista Johann Barthold Jongkind, pittore di paesaggio olandese, conosciuto come il "pittore di Honfleur e le strade di Parigi", Manet lo chiamava " il padre del paesaggio moderno",e di giovani pittori come Monet, che fu suo allievo al suo inizio e lo chiamava il suo "vero maestro", sono stati sedotti dalla sua audacia stilistica e il suo paesaggio olandase. Whereas the work of Jonglind speak for themselves, can be seen as a link between the works of Corot and Monet. The artist has lived mainly in France where he was appreciated by the art community and art lovers.

Jongkind The lesson is invaluable to the birth of the impressionist look. Claude Monet reiterate on many occasions the importance of the figure of the Dutch on their training. Jongkind introduced by atmospheric effects in the paintings of Boudin and in contact with the young Monet did not meet the favor of the clinic Journal. and the public, unable to comprehend the modern Jongkind the footsteps of many painters of the new generation will go to Holland, including Monet looking for new suggestions, thanks to the passion for the tradition of Dutch painting, particularly that of Hals, which invests the Paris of paintings by Jongkind years sessanta.Le surprise by their modernity in the early sixties perform a free brushwork of impressionism and a sense atmospheric their more mature. WORKS
"Landscape painting is on the eve of a change," writes Rene Menard in 1873, commenting on the Dutch contribution to the Universal Exhibition in Vienna. "Without much fanfare the Dutch painters have returned slowly to their source of inspiration, and now are all working on their dunes and along the canals to observe and tell what they noticed, with a high sensitivity and a lovely nonchalance.
In the small group of painters growing on the Dutch coast there is something sincere that should make us think ... the eyes of many Dutch art critics seem to have taken a highly innovative address: some artists seem to have "definitively broken with the insipid and weak Dutch school in 1830.
Hague The new art is embraced not only by the Dutch, but is embraced by other cities and countries.
They promote an atmosphere of painting, in that "the tone takes precedence over color" with results that reveal "the poetry of gray in ways hitherto unknown", notes the writer Van Senten Kolf.

Anton Mauve however, known to be the cousin and the first teacher of Vincent van Gogh, has a very broad brush and a coating of flat color backgrounds, as demonstrated by this His masterpiece, which depicts a scene of daily life without any social implications, a slice of modern life as close to Degas that the Nordic tradition.

Theo van Rysselberghe
Portrait of Anna Boch-
in his studio-1889-Springfield-
Museum of Fine Arts.
greatly moved by the masterpiece of Seurat, Van Rysselberghe is close to the technique of Pointillisme, with remarkable results. The painting seems to try to mediate between the historical flavor of impressionism and the vision "Science" promoted by Seurat. Anna Boch pupil of the artist is portrayed in the guise of a painter, holding the Paletted and brush. Its solid figure stands out against the backdrop of a study in which nothing is left to chance, make a fine show if a stack of coloring book, a wide selection of brushes, a Japanese print and a violin, all of which are very significant reconstruct the personality of the woman.
The violin that rises on the left side of the scene can be an allusion to his passion for music by Anna Boch who loves to organize musical evenings every week. The Boch-date is in the artistic choices-is also an art dealer and is the first and only to buy a painting Van Gogh when he is still alive- WORKS
In 1895 Claude Monet travels to Norway to experience the impressionist technique in the presence of icy landscapes of the North. The result is very interesting that he follows: the fractional and free brushwork of Monet come to terms with a more pronounced treatment volumes, composing the color stains are more defined than usual. Even his usually soft-Paletted - buy the coolest accents, tinged hitherto rare artist. The Scandinavian landscape, with its contrasting colors and bright, has actually little to do with the soft nuances and atmosphere of the French countryside.
Adherence to grammar Impressionist already difficult elsewhere,
encounter a natural obstacle in the Nordic countries, who adapt to
plein air remaining in the orbit of a bright traditional widespread
in painting Northern Europe.
Eugène Jansson
The Riddarfjord Stockholm
1898-Nationalmuseum Stockholm
The production, unfortunately little known, it is very interesting. Jansson shows remarkable features of modernity, which is closer to the poetry of Edvard Munch than to that of Monet, which also supports the idea of \u200b\u200bobserving a single place in different climatic conditions.
To mark the distance from the deep research of the French master is above all the aim of observation: Monet will reproduce on canvas the subtle variations of the truth that our eye can perceive, Jasson instead wants to capture the inner feelings that the landscape arouses in the soul, the spettatore.Jasson uses color and brushwork as a means to accentuate feelings and moods
The vortex in the water drawn reflections in the foreground can remember the line used by Munch in his most famose.La color choice goes beyond the reproduction of the real retina. Far from wanting to offer a mimesis of reality, Jansson reinterprets the subject in their own vision of things. Lonely painter, he is the interpreter of a widespread tendency in the Scandinavian lands, in painting as in literature and music. WORKS
Peder Severin Hip hip hurray!
Artists celebrating at Skagen, 1888
Goteborg, Goteborgs Kunstmuseum
One of the works closer to the ways of Impressionism is Hip hip hurray! Severin. that captures an al fresco lunch in Skagen, on the southernmost tip of Denmark. This painting is perhaps his masterpiece and the canvas on which Kroyer comes closest to the impressionist manner, especially in games of light reflections on the cloth and clothes marks the distance from the lesson of the French and the solidity of the figures that some attention to detail that characterizes much of the Scandinavian production.

OCCHI...
Occhi ho incontrato
che donano gioia
Occhi rassegnati
di chi non crede
più a nulla.
Occhi ingenui
di chi nutre
speranza.
Occhi di madre
che culla
il suo bimbo.
Occhi sofferenti
incattiviti
e ribelli.
Occhi innocenti
e incontaminati.
Occhi perdenti
... silent.
... winning.
Eyes exciting.
eyes I met.
