BROCKY Károly

(1807, Temesvár - 1855, London)

Fiatal nõ virágot öntöz az ablakban 1847 körül Akvarell, 120 x 81 mm Magyar Nemzeti Galéria, Budapest

Brocky Károly bécsi tanulmányai során tette magáévá a biedermeier korának hétköznapi, idilli, kispolgári szemléletét. A fõleg szentimentális nõi portréiról ismert festõ jobb megrendelési lehetõségeket keresve elhagyta Közép-Európát, és 1846-tól Angliában tevékenykedett. Itt készült életképi jellegû nõ-, gyermek- és anyaábrázolásainak sora. Az "Ablakban virágot öntözõ fiatal nõ" c., 1847 után keletkezett kis lapot az akvarelltechnika friss könnyedségével, áttetszõ, finom színekkel készítette. Az aprólékosan részletezõ XIX. század közepi olajképekhez viszonyítva ez a felszabadult forma- és színkezelés feltehetõen Brocky itáliai tapasztalataira utal. Az angol akvarellfestés egyedülálló tradíciója is befolyásolhatta a szigetországban mûködõ magyar festõ munkásságát.

BROCKY, Károly (1807, Temesvár - 1855, London)

Young Woman Watering a Plant by the Window c. 1847 Watercolour, 120 x 81 mm Hungarian National Gallery, Budapest

Károly (Charles) Brocky adopted the everyday, idyllic, petit-bourgeois views of the Biedermeier age during the years he spent studying in Vienna. The artist, who was widely know for his sentimental female portraits, left Central Europe looking for better possibilities. After 1846, he settled in England, where he produced, among other thing, a series of portraits of women and children, which were genres by character. "Young Woman Watering, a Plant by the Window", painted about 1847, belongs to this series. The freshness and lightness made possible by aquarelle technique, and the transparent and fine colours suggest Brocky's Italian experiences. In comparison to the tedious technique of oil painting as practiced in the mid-19th century, the colours and forms of these aquarelles strike us being very relaxed. The unique tradition of English aquarelle painting probably also influenced Brocky's art.
