With my Louvre pass, I can invite a friend for free on Saturdays, and this is one of the works that I always talk about when I go with someone new... it is particularly interesting for my French friends. Of course I learned even more details from you here today, as I knew I would!! Many thanks Carel!! So many paintings in the Louvre are discoloured with age, like this one, and desperately need cleaning... the downside of having such a massively huge collection I guess!
With my membership, I can visit the Toledo museum for free. That's where I learned about the distaff. I go there often, rarely for much more than an hour, and I never walk past this picture without stopping for yet another look. The story is briefly told on a card on the wall. It's a powerful picture.
I love the series of developing triangles that the legs make at the bottom of the picture, like a wave moving towards the right, cresting in the middle and then collapsing into the bent legs of the women.
An other of your interesting and thoroughly detailed analyses. Learned more about the painting and the historic background than I did ages ago at university. Thank you so much for your insights! As an aside (and no offence intended): I find your "invitation" for liking and subscribing somewhat disturbing. The noise is so loud that it detracts attention from the text. If you 'd reduce it, one could follow your words more easily. And be sure: your community will follow you even without the regular reminder. It's the content that's inviting not the symbols and the clicks. Greetings from an Austrian art lover in Bavaria!

I have always loved this painting and he’s one of my favorite painters

The detour about the 'salute' was very interesting
The Toledo picture has an addition of a distaff at the feet of the women.
Ohhh interesting!! Well spotted!!
