Desenhos de Durer




Caro Henrique,
Veja como no auto-retrato do jovem Durer ( desenho, c.1491 ) já se exprime a preocupação e a concentração de espírito que veremos na Melancolia e noutras gravuras e pinturas posteriores.
Há uma sombra passando neste rosto, bem semelhante ao do Anjo, e o apoio da mão é muito característico.
Acima ficou outro desenho, o de um velho de 93 anos, como ele descreve, "ainda saudável e levando uma boa vida" em Antuérpia.
Supõe-se que serviu de inspiração à pintura de S. Jerónimo que se encontra no Museu de Arte Antiga em Lisboa.

Prezada Profª Yvette:
Escrevi um pequeno texto sobre a Melancolia, estimulado por sua atenção a meu pedido. Segui, como o sugerido, as 'linhas de força' mais aparentes. É um texto 'impressionista', ou seja, não pretende desvelar algum significado subjacente.
Grande abraço.

Seria interessante comparar estes Durer com o Jeremiah de Rembrandt : a inclinação da cabeça, a posição da mão, a orientação do olhar...
Rembrandt certamente viu os Durer.

De fato, há várias semelhanças. Todavia, o Profeta está em profundo luto pela destruição de Jerusalém; em Dürer, o que vemos é uma expectativa - certamente não isenta de angústia - e uma promessa. Aliás, a mão que sustém a cabeça parece ser um universal(creio que também os chimpanzés fazem esse gesto), e pode denotar diferentes estados de espírito.
O 'Pensador ' de Rodin medita; nossa enigmática figura em 'Melancolia'perscruta e sonha; Jeremias chora e lamenta...
É sempre um enorme prazer trocar idéias com a Professora. Obrigado.

I'm extremely inspired with your writing talents as smartly as with the layout in your weblog.
Is that this a paid subject matter or did you modify it yourself?
Either way stay up the nice high quality writing, it is uncommon to see a
great blog like this one these days..

Hey there! This is kind of off topic but I need some guidance from
an established blog. Is it difficult to set up your
own blog? I'm not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty fast.
I'm thinking about making my own but I'm not sure where to begin. Do you have
any tips or suggestions? Many thanks

Woah! I'm really digging the template/theme of this blog.

It's simple, yet effective. A lot of times
it's very difficult to get that "perfect balance" between usability and visual appeal.

I must say that you've done a superb job with this.
Additionally, the blog loads very fast for me on Opera.
Excellent Blog!

You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this matter to be really something that I think I
would never understand. It seems too complicated and extremely
broad for me. I'm looking forward for your next post, I
will try to get the hang of it!

Hi there just wanted to give you a quick heads up and let you know a few of the pictures aren't loading properly.
I'm not sure why but I think its a linking issue. I've tried
it in two different browsers and both show the same outcome.

You are so awesome! I do not believe I have read something like this before.
So nice to discover somebody with original thoughts on this subject.
Seriously.. thanks for starting this up. This website is
something that is required on the internet, someone with a
bit of originality!

Its like you read my mind! You seem to know a lot about this, like you wrote the book in it or something.
I think that you can do with some pics to drive the message home a bit, but instead of that, this
is magnificent blog. An excellent read. I will definitely be
back.

I have been browsing online more than 3 hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours.
It is pretty worth enough for me. In my opinion, if all web owners and bloggers made
good content as you did, the internet will be much more useful than ever before.
