''Springtime'' is an 1872 painting by Claude Monet. ==History== In this painting entitled ''Springtime'', Claude Monet uses his first wife, Camille Doncieux, as the model. Camille and Claude Monet were married in 1870, before this time she had been his mistress and served as a model for Monet's figurative paintings of the 1860s and 1870s. It is said that Camille possessed unusual talent as a model and was also used by Auguste Renoir and Édouard Manet.〔(M.M., Monet and is Muse:Camille Monet in the Artist's Life, University of Chicago Press, 2010, pp. XI-4 )〕 Late in the year 1871, Monet and his family settled in Argenteuil, a village Northwest of Paris. The village was a popular resort for urban pleasure-seekers. Colleagues of Monet frequently joined him and the village became associated with Impressionism. In the spring of 1872, Monet painted a number of canvases in his garden, often showing Camille and Alfred Sisley's companion, Adelaide-Eugenie Lescouezec.〔(W.R., Nineteenth Century Art: From Romanticism to Art Nouveau, The Walters Art Gallery, pp. 133-134, ISBN 1857592433 )〕 ''Springtime'' was on display at an exhibition organized by the Impressionists at Durand Ruel's Paris Gallery, from March 30 to April 30, 1876. Monet exhibited 18 works, for which 6 of these works Camille had posed.〔(M.M., Monet and is Muse:Camille Monet in the Artist's Life, University of Chicago Press, 2010, p. 167 )〕 During this exhibition, ''Springtime'' was given the more generic title of ''Woman Reading''.〔(The Walters Art Museum -Springtime )〕 Monet's second wife, Alice Hoschedé, ordered the complete destruction of pictures and mementos from Camille's life with Monet, therefore, Camille's image almost solely survives on the basis of Monet's paintings.〔(M.M., Monet and is Muse:Camille Monet in the Artist's Life, University of Chicago Press, 2010, p.20 )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Springtime (painting)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
