“Saliendo para el paseo 1859 de Alfred Stevens 1823 - 1906 nació en Bruselas, donde fue formado por François-Joseph Navez, discípulo a su vez de Jacques-Louis David. Estuvo activo sobre todo en París, donde se estableció en 1844. Sus primeras pinturas reflejaban la vida miserable de las clases bajas de París. Su pintura llamada Ce que l'on appelle vagabondage, atrajo la atención de Napoleón III en la Exposición Universal de París de 1855. Durante un tiempo, sus temas históricos y su gusto por el kitsch oriental le hicieron que fuera catalogado como un pintor académico. Museo de Arte de Filadelfia (Pensilvania)

A young, light-skinned woman stands in a narrow Parisian doorway, paused mid-step as she prepares to go out. She wears a dark, gleaming silk day dress with a fitted bodice and sweeping skirt, its surface catching the light in soft velvety folds. Wrapped around her shoulders is a luxuriant cashmere shawl, densely patterned with curving paisley forms in reds, golds, and cool blues that spill down her front like a second garment. Her brown hair is close to her head, framing a composed, thoughtful face turned slightly toward us, her gaze lowered but aware as she looks back over her right shoulder. One hand rests on a bright metal door handle, holding the threshold between interior and street. At her feet, a small white lapdog, Fido, looks up attentively on the polished floor, its pink ribbon collar echoing the refinement of its mistress. Behind them, pale walls, a framed picture, and the edge of an upholstered seat suggest an elegant yet tightly bounded domestic space. Belgian artist Alfred Stevens turns this moment of departure into a quiet meditation on modern femininity under the French Second Empire. Wealth and status are signaled less by jewelry than by textiles, especially the coveted Kashmiri-style shawl that dominates the composition and speaks to the reach of global trade into Parisian interiors. The woman becomes almost a living mannequin for luxury, yet her slight hesitation and inward-looking expression suggest emotions that cannot be read from fashion alone. Painted in 1859, soon after Stevens settled permanently in Paris, the work marks his shift from earlier social-realist subjects to the intimate genre scenes of elegant women. Trained in the realist tradition and inspired by Dutch and Flemish painters, he brought enamel-smooth precision to scenes of contemporary life, using interiors and clothing to reveal social codes. Here, a bourgeois woman’s movements are carefully staged, even as she stands on the brink walking into an unseen modern city.

Puede que, al mirarla, admitas que tú también has recorrido alguna vez el proceloso trayecto que va de los “recuerdos al arrepentimiento”. Quizá #AlfredStevens estaba trazando la ruta que habrían de seguir otros para impresionarte, o tal vez solo pretendía #EmocionArte.

Victorine Meurend stands in profile looking over her right shoulder at us while holding a large uh grey bird with black wings in her right hand. Her dark hair is up above her ears centering the light on her face and beauty. She wears a heavy yellow dress with lace color while standing in a room with wooden Flemish furniture and colorful blue and yellow tapestry on the wall behind her. Although Alfred Stevens was born in Brussels, he spent much of his career in Paris, where he was a close friend of the artist Édouard Manet. Until about 1875, Stevens’s typical subject was the domestic interior, often involving women attired in opulent clothing and represented in luxurious settings. This interest in the modern woman, with her attendant social culture and fashion, distinguished Stevens in the eyes of his contemporaries as a painter of modern life. This notwithstanding, Stevens also strove to emulate seventeenth-century Dutch and Flemish painting, especially quiet interior genre scenes and, later, marine compositions. In the early 1860s, Stevens began to use a particular model, Victorine Meurend — also the favorite model of Manet, who depicted her most famously in his 1863 Olympia in the Musée d’Orsay, Paris. Stevens’s interest to pose Meurend with a bird may have coincided with Manet’s depiction of her in his 1866 Femme au Perroquet, which was completed the same year that Gustave Courbet exhibited his painting of the same title that depicted a reclining female nude with a bird on her hand. Stevens’s painting, in addition to having greater specificity in the rendering of hair style and costume, differs from Manet’s and Courbet’s paintings by both downplaying the sensual overtones of the theme and by subtly introducing references to the seventeenth century: the Flemish ebony double cabinet with applied spiral-turned spindles and the Flemish tapestry hanging behind.

At the port of Le Havre in Normandy, a woman in an elegant pink dress gazes out to sea at steamboats in the distance while her straw hat and gloves lie on the table and her pet dog sits nearby.
