L'epoca vittoriana ci ha lasciato in eredità dei piccoli capolavori, di molti dei quali non siamo neppure consapevoli ...
conseguenzialmente alla suddivisione in classi e alla differenze del modo in cui veniva impartita l'educazione, oggi possiamo giovarci dell'ammirare tali opere d'arte ...
Erano le ladies appartenenti all'aristocrazia, quelle che siamo soliti immaginare a trascorrere le loro giornate sorseggiando pigramente tazze di tè con le amiche con cui condividere pettegolezzi e discorrere sui migliori partiti da conquistare per combinare matrimoni di successo, che passeggiavano con la mente sgombra tra i vialetti dei loro parchi godendo dell'accurato lavoro dei giardinieri e suonavano il piano per allietare il dopocena di parenti e conoscenti invitati ad opulenti desinare, ... sì, erano queste signore facenti parte delle classi agiate che trovavano il tempo per collezionare amabilmente le fotografie che più avevano care creando delle vere e proprie composizioni artistiche in cui dare libera espressione alla loro creatività:
tra applicazioni floreali, acquerelli e disegni geometrici che sembrano celare un significato simbolico le fotografie si uniscono per divenire quadri di grande effetto e suggestività.
Non solo erano necessari tempo, cura e pazienza, ma era fondamentale anche una grande inclinazione artistica, che, come sappiamo, permeava di sè quasi ogni ambito della vita quotidiana di coloro che avevano la fortuna di non doversi preoccupare della propria sopravvivenza.
Non se ne fa menzione da alcuna parte, ma per me coloro che hanno dato vita a questi affreschi, rendendo dei semplici ritratti parte integrante di scene dalla profonda artisticità, erano delle vere artiste dotate altresì di notevole senso estetico e talento.
Ladies di cui si ignora perloppiù il nome, vissute per la maggior parte nella Gran Bretagna nel tardo ottocento, ci consegnano questi piccoli gioielli che possono essere annoverati tra le opere d'arte che il XIX secolo ha, in più ambiti, dispensato con unica prodigalità.
E pensare che al tempo quello del comporre i photocollages era considerato un hobby ... Con più li osservo e con più ne sono affascinata, cogliendo, come nella contemplazione di un quadro, caratteristiche e particolari sempre nuovi ed accattivanti.
Gran parte di questi photocollages vittoriani li trovate nell'album di Madame B - Marie Blanche Hennelle Fournier e qualora foste interessati qui potete sfogliarlo per intero ( ve lo consiglio vivamente, è davvero splendido !).
A presto ♥
The Victorian era has left us a legacy of small masterpieces, many of which we are not even aware of ...

in consequence to the division into social classes, and the differences in the way in which education was imparted, today we can take advantage to admire these works of art ...

They were the ladies belonging to the aristocracy, those we usually imagine while spending their days sipping lazily cups of tea with friends with whom to share gossips and talk about the best parties to be conquered for successful marriages, who were walking with a clear mind between the paths of their parks enjoying the gardeeners's accurate work and played the piano to entertain, after opulent dinner, relatives and acquaintances who were guests ... yes, were these ladies, who were part of the upper classes, who found the time to collect so amiably photographs they loved most by creating real artistic compositions in which give free expression to their creativity:

among floral sticked trimmings, watercolors and geometric designs that seem to conceal a symbolic meaning, the photographs are combined to become cadres of highly effective and suggestiveness.

They weren't only necessary time, care and patience, but it was also required as fundamental a great artistic inclination, which, as we know, self-permeated almost every aspect of daily life of those who had the good fortune of not having to worry about their own survival.
It is mentioned nowhere, but in my opinion those who have given life to these frescoes, making simple portraits an integral part of scenes from the deep artistry, were real artists with aesthetic sense and also of considerable talent.

Ladies mainly with unknown name, living mostly in Britain in the late XIXth century, have left us these little gems that can be counted among the works of art that the Victorian age has, in many areas, given with generous prodigality.
And what about if we think that, at that time, composing photocollages was considered a hobby ... With more and more I look at them more I'm fascinated, seizing, as in the contemplation of a picture, features and details which are always new and appealing.
Many of these Victorian photocollages can be found in the Madame B - Marie Blanche Fournier Hennelle's album and if you are interested you can browse it here in full (I highly recommend it, it really is wonderful ! ).
And with the latest images of this small gallery of rare beauty I'm leaving you wishing you all with love much peace
