Aréthuse et Alphée - Arethuse and Alpheus (1847) "Oil on canvas, “102 x 110 cm” [La Piscine, Roubaix, France] — Léopold Burthe (Franco-American; 1823 - 1860). Léopold Burthe is a rare artist whose biography remains little known. Born in New Orleans into a French family, he arrived in Paris between 1826 and 1830 where he became a pupil of Amaury-Duval around 1840. His regular appearances at the Salon were little noticed by the critics, but his submission in 1849 , Sapho, was acquired by the State and then sent to the Carcassonne museum. In addition, in 1881, the painter's sister included four paintings by her brother in her bequest to the Poitiers museum. This unpublished canvas is probably Burthe's submission to the Salon of 1847, listed in the catalog under number 257 with a quotation from Ovid's Metamorphoses: "Pursued by Alpheus, Arethusa invoked Diana who changed her into a fountain". The scene precisely represents the metamorphosis of the young nymph whose hair liquefies to create a spring in the foreground. This mythological inspiration is one of the keys to the work of Burthe, who illustrated Daphnis and Chloe with a line for an edition produced post-mortem, by Hetzel, in 1863. The work fits perfectly, in his spirit and in his way, between the Hercules at the feet of Omphale from the 1846 Salon (Poitiers, Sainte-Croix museum) and the Sapho from the 1849 exhibition (Carcassonne, museum), in the neo-Greek style championed by Amaury-Duval. A magnificent linear elegance, well in the tradition of Ingres, a sharp drawing and a tangy palette are the characteristics of this painter, one of the rare Nazarenes of the French artistic scene with the enigmatic and suave Edmond Labrador.

ophelia

“there on the pendant boughs her coronet weeds clamb’ring to hang, an envious sliver broke, when down her weedy trophies and herself fell in the weeping brook.

her clothes spread wide and mermaid-like, awhile they bore her up, which time she chanted snatches of old lauds, as one incapable of her own distress, or like a creature native and indued unto that element.

but long it could not be till that her garments, heavy with their drink, pull’d the poor wretch from her melodious lay to muddy death.”
