Abstract
Francisco Oller was one of the most distinguished and influential artists to emerge from the Caribbean in the mid-nineteenth century. Often referred to as the painter of Puerto Rico, he is most noted for his depictions of everyday life on the island, landscapes, still lifes, portraits, and history paintings. However, his four lengthy journeys to Spain and France throughout his life indelibly marked his artistic production. This essay reconsiders the impact of French art on Oller. It deals with two heretofore unstudied paintings (both in private collections). A tabletop still life with peonies and other flowers reminds us of his interest in Henri Fantin-Latour and his contemporaries in Paris. Oller’s small but panoramic landscape of the pilgrimage shrine to Our Lady of Lourdes in southern France opens up questions regarding the artist’s own religious leanings and his interest in depicting public spaces.
弗朗西斯科·奥勒(Francisco Oller)是十九世纪中期加勒比地区涌现的最杰出、最具影响力的艺术家之一。通常被称为波多黎各画家,他最出名的是他对岛上日常生活、风景、静物、肖像和历史画的描绘。然而,他一生中去西班牙和法国的四次漫长旅行给他的艺术创作留下了不可磨灭的印记。本文重新思考了法国艺术对奥勒的影响。它涉及两幅迄今未被研究的画作(均为私人收藏)。桌上的静物画中有牡丹和其他花朵,这让我们想起了他对亨利·芳丹·拉图尔和他在巴黎的同时代人的兴趣。奥勒在法国南部为卢尔德圣母(Our Lady of Lourdes)绘制了一幅小而全景的朝圣圣地景观,这幅风景画揭示了艺术家自己的宗教倾向和他对描绘公共空间的兴趣。
