그림 소개

Tom Walker meets the Devil during an evening walk in John Quidor's The Devil and Tom Walker (1856), in the Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland. The episode comes from Washington Irving's Tales of a Traveler, published in 1824, whose protagonist is little troubled by fear. Quidor repeatedly painted Irving's stories in a fantastic, grotesque manner unlike the quieter realism of much American genre painting. In his lifetime he also gained a reputation for decorating banners and fire engines, but none of those painted objects survives.

미술관의 설명

An eccentric and cantankerous man, John Quidor achieved fame in his lifetime for paintings of banners and fire engines, none of which survive. Today he is remembered for a series of fantastic, grotesque paintings based on the stories of Washington Irving (1783-1859)-a series whose exuberant style differs from the general run of American genre paintings, which tend to be more understated in mood and realistic in style. The Devil and Tom Walker belongs to this curious group of works. It portrays a scene from Irving's Tales of a Traveler (1824), in which Tom Walker, who was "not a man to be troubled with any fears," encounters the Devil while on an evening outing.
