| Mr. Girieud offers us a bath of Venus which marks, in the work of this uneven and tormented artist, a considerable step. We think, in front of this heavy blonde Venus, these massive nymphs, these sumptuous accessories - golden box, mirror , embroidered draperies - Flemish painters, Italianized by the influence of the Renaissance. But heavy drawings, disagreements of tone that this canvas does not affect the masterpiece although it has already been said. |
