ZICHY Mihály

(1827, Zala - 1906, Szentpétervár)

Mentõcsónak 1847 Olaj, vászon, 135 x 190 cm Magyar Nemzeti Galéria, Budapest

Tizenkilenc éves volt Zichy Mihály, amikor ezt a képet festette, és Bécsben Waldmüllernek, a neves életképfestõnek tanítványaként folytatta Pesten megkezdett festõpályáját. Mestere az emberábrázolás realista útját járta, festõnket is arra tanította, mégis ez a kép drámai témájával messze került az osztrák zsánerképek kedvelt-tréfás életszerûségétõl. A francia romantikus festészet kezdeményezõihez, Géricault-hoz és Delacroix-hoz kapcsolódott. Zichy az alakokat a közvetlen elõtérbe hozva, kiszolgáltatottságuk lélektani elemzését választotta témájául. Feltûnnek a bécsi biedermeier festészet jellegzetes figurái is a képen, a feszüelt felé játékosan nyûjtózó kisgyermek és az imádkozó öregasszony, szakállas aggastyánok a festészeti akadémiák modelljei, ám annál meglepõbb a fiatal Zichy jellemzõereje és szándéka a jelenet egészének drámai ecsetelésében.

A helyzetek és indulatok végsõ felfokozása miatt nevezte az ifj] Zichyt a romantika francia apostola, Théophile Gautier "monstre de génie-nek: félelmetes zseninek. Mentõcsónakjával ez a fiatalember perbe szállott a hûvösen fennkölt akadémizmussal, s éppen a bécsi Akadémia díját nyerte el vele az öreg professzorok dohogása ellenére.

ZICHY, Mihály (1827, Zala - 1906, St. Petersburg)

Lifeboat 1847 Oil on canvas, 135 x 190 cm Hungarian National Gallery, Budapest

Mihály Zichy was 19 years old when he painted the picture. Zichy, a pupil of Waldmüller in Vienna, went on with his career in Pest the same year. Although his master, a realist of character portrayal, had taught Zichy the same ideas, the picture was by no manner of menas similar to the popular and amusing style of Austrian genre painting. The picture can be linked to Géricault and Delacroix who initiated French romanticism. By moving the figures right into the foreground, Zichy gave a psychologic analysis of his defenceless figures. Typical figures of Vienna biedermeier appear in the picture: small children playfully stretching out for the crucifix, old women praying, old men with beard and models of the art academy. What makes the picture even more surprising is young Zichy's skills of dramatic portrayal of the scene.

Théophile Gautier, the French apostle of romanticism, called young Zichy "monstre de génie" because he increased tensions to the utmost in his pictures. With his "Life Boat" the young artist rebelled against coolly sophisticated academism and won the prize of the Academy in spite of its old professors.
