The Meeting, 1884
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Maria Konstantinowka Bashkirtseff captures a beautiful moment of innocence and togetherness. In this painting, we see a gathering of people in an exterior location, possibly a street or yard in France. The focal point is a young boy engrossed in reading while his older brother stands beside him, engaged in conversation. The artist skillfully portrays the concept of bonding and companionship through the body language and expressions of the subjects. The boy's thoughtful gaze suggests curiosity and naivety, while his brother's attentive stance indicates their strong friendship. They are surrounded by other individuals engaged in dialogue and amusement, creating an atmosphere of enjoyment. The composition is enhanced by the presence of a fence that acts as both a physical barrier and symbolizes the barriers between different social groups or gangs during that era. Despite these divisions, this meeting demonstrates unity among diverse individuals who come together for recreational purposes. Bashkirtseff's use of color adds vibrancy to the scene, capturing the youthful energy present within this group. The artist invites us to ponder upon themes such as trust, communication, and strategy as we observe these characters interacting with one another. "The Meeting" serves as a reminder that even amidst our busy lives, taking time for meaningful conversations with friends and loved ones can bring joy and fulfillment. This print from Musee d'Orsay encapsulates an innocent moment frozen in time – one that continues to resonate with viewers today.
