Lot 630 | Der Weckruf
Sir Joshua Reynolds 1723 Plympton/Devonshire - 1792 London, Umkreis Der Weckruf Zwei im Wald eingeschlafene Mädchen werden von einem Gimpel geweckt. Öl auf Leinwand 65 x 49,5 cm. Doubliert. Restaurierung. Rahmen. Die wohl zur Zeit der Doublierung des Gemäldes auf den Keilrahmen geklebten Papierausrisse lassen sich der Ausgabe von ''The Standard'', London, Montag, 30. Juli 1860 zuordnen. Vergleichbare Darstellungen finden sich im Schaffen Joshua Reynolds mehrfach, so mit dem Bildnis der ''Robinetta'', einem im Wald sitzenden Mädchen, das ein Rotkehlchen füttert oder der kleinen ''Lady Gertrude Fitzpatrick'', die in einer Uferlandschaft sitzt und - wie heimlich ertappt - von Weintrauben in ihrem Schoß aufblickt. Die Kinderporträts wurden von den Zeitgenossen Reynolds besonders geschätzt, man pries ihre scheinbar aus dem Leben gegriffenen, ''natürlichen'' Posen - eine deutliche Abkehr vom formellen Porträtschema der vorhergehenden Künstlergeneration. Dennoch folgten auch Reynolds und die Künstler seines Umkreises den kulturellen Geschlechtsstereotypen ihrer Zeit. Reynolds experimentierte gekonnt mit dem neuen Bildtypus der ''Fancy pictures'': Es werden sentimentale Gestalten, meist Kinder, gezeigt, die sich keinem der klassischen Motivkreise zuordnen lassen und beim Betrachter verschiedenste Assoziationen hervorrufen. Die erzählerische Verdichtung dieser ''Fancy pictures'' ist von starker emotionaler Wirkung.
