Sul dipinto
Jean-Léonard Lugardon (1801-1884) was born in Geneva to French parents. He first studied at the Geneva Art Society and later became a pupil of the Baron Gros and of Ingres in Paris. He continued his studies in Florence and stayed in Italy between 1825 and 1834. He became director of the school of illustration in Geneva until 1845, spent a year in Algeria and returned to Paris for several years. Illness forced him to rest almost entirely for the last 27 years of his life. He had a son, Albert (1827-1909), who was also a painter.
Leggi
This painting is a fine example of Lugardon’s genre painting, one of the leading Romantic artists in Geneva. It shows two young beautiful people wearing Italian traditional costumes and set in an idyllic landscape overlooking a bay. The landscape is traditionally said to have been painted by the landscape painter A. Calame who was a close friend of Luagardon. Lugardon would therefore be only responsible for the figures. This type of paintings was extremely popular in the second half of the 19th century.
