Deux élèves en costume grec

Thomas Eakins American
1883
Not on view
L’appareil photographique permit à Thomas Eakins d’accentuer le naturalisme de ses toiles. Recrutant ses modèles parmi ses élèves de la Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, à Philadelphie, il compila un impressionnant catalogue photographique, très utile à ses études anatomiques. Cette photographie, tirée sur un papier au platine surdimensionné, est une étude de poses et de gestes. La posture des modèles a été consciemment choisie pour faire écho à celle des personnages d’Arcadia, un relief sculpté par Eakins en 1883 que l’on aperçoit sur une table, sous deux palettes en bois de l’artiste.
