JPEG file comment | ZICHY Mihály
(1827, Zala - 1906, Szentpétervár) Démon 1878 Fekete és fehér kréta, 86,5 x 57,5 cm Magyar Nemzeti Galéria, Budapest Zichy Mihály az 1878-as párizsi világkiállításra alkotta meg A pusztítás géniuszának diadala címû 25 m2-es vásznát. A szintén ebben az évben készült Démon c. rajz a kép központi figurájának vázlata, de kivágásában, romantikusabb megformálásában több is annál. A bravúros rajzkészségû Zichy itt a maga ellentmondásos démontípusát jelenítette meg. Egy szép, fiatal férfitest akadémikusan idealizált megörökítésében a történelmi és személyes boldogulást veszélyeztetõ gonosz szellemet ábrázolta. A monumentálissá növelt figura egyben az antik Mars isten késõi utódja és a közeledõ századvég haláldémonjainak elõfutára. Zichy számtalan remek akvarellje, tollrajza és aprólékos illusztrációja közül nagyvonalú, lendületes kompozíciójával emelkedik ki ez az alaktanulmány. ZICHY, Mihály (1827, Zala - 1906, St. Petersburg) Demon 1878 Black and white chalk, 86,5 x 57,5 cm Hungarian National Gallery, Budapest Mihály Zichy painted his monumental work. The Triumph of the Genius of Destruction for the Paris World Fair of 1878. "Demon" was a study drawn for the central figure, but in its arrangement and romantic rendering, it is more than a mere sketch. In this drawing, Zichy depicted his own version of a demon - a being full of contradictions. In the Academically conceived, idealized body of this beautiful and young male, the artist captured an evil spirit endangering both universal and personal happiness. Elevated to a monumental scale, the figure of the demon is a late descendant of the Antique god Mars, and, at the same time, the forerunner of the approaching fin-de-siécle's demons of death. With its imposing and dynamic composition, this study stands out of the innumerable aquarelles, ink drawings, and detailed illustrations by Zichy. Type: allegory Time-line: 1851-1875 Form: graphics |
