spring
Angel began to write Fountain during his stay in Florence, Italy from 65438 to 0830, but he never finished it. Twenty-six years later, at the age of seventy-six, he finished the painting. This painting is Anger's masterpiece. Spring skillfully combines classical beauty with female physical beauty. Excellent performance of the girl's naive youthful vitality is the crystallization of his lifelong pursuit of beauty. Although this is a work in his later years, it depicts the beauty of women more than all his previous similar works. Spring is also one of the outstanding works describing the female human body in the history of Western European art, which shows that Angel's modeling power is purely an emotional possession of reality. In his composition creation, only when he is likely to crawl in front of women can he create real works of art.
The beauty of this product is natural and pure, and the pure beauty of western girls is clear at a glance. She gives people infinite reverie and endless thoughts.
Angel devoted himself to nude sketch all his life, and only when he faced nude models would his realistic views stand out. He once said: "standard beauty-this is the product of constant observation of beautiful models", and he also believes that the expressive force of a painting depends on the author's rich sketch knowledge; There can be no vivid performance except absolute accuracy. Grasping the approximate accuracy is equivalent to losing the accuracy. In that case, it is tantamount to creating a fictional character and hypocritical feelings. They have no feelings at all. The last romantic painter of classical painting absorbed the realistic skills of Renaissance predecessors and masters, and gave full play to his sketching skills. What's different here is that the naked women of Ma Saqiao, Michelangelo, George and other masters embody an ideal of the times full of humanity, while Angel's ideal pinned on naked women is an abstract concept of "eternal beauty". In fact, it is to seek the expressive force of female beauty in the harmony of lines, shapes and colors. This is his description of the Turkish maid
Countess Louise Hausenville
It is especially obvious in the paintings of naked women. In his later years, Angel painted this painting "Spring", which further embodied the painter's brand-new concept of beauty, that is, he deeply felt the necessity of creating an abstract model of classical beauty by means of fine modeling. 76-year-old Angel finally found the perfect combination of the abstract classical beauty accumulated in her heart for a long time and the girlish beauty in concrete reality in this "spring".
In this painting, he shows the tranquility, lyricism and purity of beauty that can be universally praised by human beings. A critic visited the fountain and said, "This young girl is the product of the artist's declining art, and her beauty has surpassed all women. She condensed her beauty, and her image was more vivid and idealized. " The fountain was probably brewed in Florence, Italy, at 1820. Why did it take 36 years to finally complete this manuscript? It starts with his students Paul Balcer and Alexander Degove. Angel's original idea of "spring" is to imitate the wishes of Italian masters when painting Venus. He drew some sketches as early as 1807, and later he was not satisfied with the "Venus" style painted by his predecessors in an attempt to make the image simpler. Some people think that this painting was originally completed with the help of the above two students. Anger is often copying the same theme or idea, sometimes it takes years or even decades.

1857, the spring water was acquired by Count Dmitry and became a private painting collection. Later, according to the earl's will, his home belonged to 1878, and this painting was given to the country, which eventually became another treasure of the Louvre in Paris.
