Le Chant d'amour

1868–77
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 516
Cette toile, l’une des plus célèbres de l’artiste, est l’ultime version d’une série inspirée par le refrain d’une vieille chanson bretonne : « Hélas ! je sais un chant d’amour, / Triste ou gai, tour à tour ». Avec ses personnages qui rappellent ceux du Vénitien Vittore Carpaccio, peintre du XVe siècle, et le décor « arthurien » baigné d’une lumière vespérale, Le Chant d’amour reflète l’influence de la Renaissance italienne et le mouvement gothicisant des préraphaélites.
