Victor Charreton | Post-Impressionist painter

Victor Charreton (1864-1936) belongs to a generation of artists who devoted themselves to ‘le paysage’, just like the Impressionists did before them, paying attention to the influence of seasons, light and colours. Furthermore, he traveled extensively and together with his wife, he visited Italy, Germany, The Netherlands, Belgium, England, Spain and Marocco.
His evolution tended towards a use of richer and brighter colours, notably in the mauves and violets which characterize his style. Victor Charreton is famous for his landscapes and still-life paintings, often sharing Impressionist preoccupations whilst trying to capture momentary effects of specific times of day or seasons, at sunset or in a snowy landscape.

Vincent Van Gogh | In the springtime a bird in a cage

In the springtime a bird in a cage knows very well that there’s something he’d be good for; he feels very clearly that there’s something to be done but he can’t do it; what it is he can’t clearly remember, and he has vague ideas and says to himself, "the others are building their nests and making their little ones and raising the brood", and he bangs his head against the bars of his cage. And then the cage stays there and the bird is mad with suffering. "Look, there’s an idler", says another passing bird - "that fellow’s a sort of man of leisure".

A primavera un uccello in gabbia sa bene che c'è qualcosa a cui potrebbe servire, sente benissimo che ci sarebbe qualcosa da fare, ma non ci può far nulla, e cos'è questo? Non si ricorda bene, ha idee vaghe e dice: "Gli altri fanno i loro nidi e portano fuori i loro piccoli e li cibano" e poi sbatte il suo capino contro le grate della gabbia. Ma la gabbia resiste e l'uccello impazzisce dal dolore. "Guarda che fannullone", dice un altro uccello che passa lì davanti, "quello è un tipo che vive di rendita".

Federico Garcia Lorca | Potessero le mie mani sfogliare la luna

Pronunzio il tuo nome

nelle notti scure,

quando sorgono gli astri

per bere dalla luna

e dormono le frasche

delle macchie occulte.
