Sobre a pintura
Moving Day or The Movings (French: Les Déménagements) is an oil on canvas genre painting by the French artist Louis-Léopold Boilly, from 1822. It is held in the Art Institute of Chicago, having been acquired in 1982.
Nas palavras do museu
This slickly painted street scene uses the housing crisis of post-Revolutionary Paris, which forced poor people to move frequently in search of affordable homes, as a metaphor for other “movings” in life, particularly the transition from life to death. At center, a carriage loaded with furniture transports a young woman with her baby while, to their right, a black hearse moves towards the ethereal Roman church in the distance. The artist crossing the scene, easel in hand, just behind the horse may allude to the transient nature of such work, which often included travel between Rome and Paris.
