Français : Peinture à l'huile sur toile de François Diday intitulée "Glacier d'Arolla", 1874. Musée d'art du Valais, pendant l'exposition "Se souvenir des neiges éternelles" (15 juin 2024 au 6 octobre 2024) qui participe à manifestation nationale "Regarder le glacier s'en aller". Formé à Genève, puis à Paris, François Diday a participé, durant la première moitié au XIXe siècle, au renouvellement de la peinture romantique de paysages et à la diffusion des particularités de l'école genevoise. Ses paysages aux atmosphères changeantes et à la luminosité contrastée conquièrent un public européen qui ne tardera pas à visiter les sites helvétiques, marquant l'avènement du tourisme alpestre. Ce tableau est tardif dans la carrière de Diday, qui a exploré les cimes encore infréquentées dès la fin des années 1820. La lumière, plus douce et homogène que dans ses toiles du milieu du XIXe siècle, ainsi que l'absence de figure atténuent les frissons « sublimes ». Sur la base d'études réalisées sur le motif, il créait ses toiles de grandes dimensions à l'atelier, renonçant parfois à l'exactitude topographique, composant par exemple ici un hybride entre le glacier d'Arolla et celui du Mont Collon. L'humain est tenu écarté de cette nature grandiose, dont les pâturages verts offrent un promontoire pour contempler l'immensité du glacier qui occupe, avec les sommets, l'écrasante majorité de la composition, reléguant la ligne d'horizon à la lisière de l'image.
English: Oil painting on canvas by François Diday entitled "Glacier d'Arolla", 1874. Musée d'art du Valais, during the exhibition "Se souvenir des neiges éternelles" (June 15, 2024 to October 6, 2024), part of the national event "Regarder le glacier s'en aller". Trained in Geneva and then Paris, François Diday played a key role in the first half of the 19th century in the renewal of Romantic landscape painting and the dissemination of the distinctive features of the Geneva school. His landscapes, with their changing atmospheres and contrasting luminosity, won over a European public that was quick to visit Swiss sites, marking the advent of alpine tourism. This painting comes late in Diday's career, as he had already been exploring the uninhabited peaks since the late 1820s. The light, softer and more homogeneous than in his mid-nineteenth-century canvases, and the absence of figures attenuate the "sublime" thrills. Based on studies made on the spot, he created his large-scale canvases in the studio, sometimes abandoning topographical accuracy, composing here, for example, a hybrid between the Arolla and Mont Collon glaciers. Humans are kept at a distance from this grandiose nature, whose green pastures offer a promontory from which to contemplate the immensity of the glacier, which, along with the peaks, occupies the overwhelming majority of the composition, relegating the horizon line to the edge of the picture. |
