O obrazie
No living creatures appear in the still woodland of Ralph Albert Blakelock's The Vista, painted around 1890 and now in the Minneapolis Institute of Art, Minneapolis. The subject is solitude within nature, a recurring mood in his romantic forest scenes. Blakelock looked to his own country for material rather than traveling to Europe as many American painters did. Here, strong colors and a thick surface give the quiet scene dramatic force. After laying paint heavily onto the canvas, he roughened it with a meat skewer instead of the more customary knife.
Opis muzeum
Rather than turning to Europe as many American artists did in the 1800s, Ralph Blakelock found inspiration in his own country. He painted romantic landscapes. For him, forests evoked a mood, usually of melancholy and solitude. The Vista’s theme is isolation within nature. In this still forest, no creatures are to be seen. The vibrant colors and impasto painting technique add drama. The paint was laid thickly on the canvas and then roughed up, in this case with a meat skewer (most artists used a knife). Blakelock’s method of painting and his view of nature were not appreciated in his own day, but now he is recognized as a great Romantic painter.
