Le travail présenté sur ce site est constitué par mes notes de recherche. Il a principalement été réalisé entre 2007 et 2019 alors que je poursuivais des études de baccalauréat, de maîtrise et de doctorat en histoire de l'art. Mes questions de recherche portaient sur les expositions organisées à Montréal entre 1860 et 1920, principalement les expositions d'œuvres prêtées à l'Art Association of Montreal devenue depuis le Musée des beaux-arts de Montréal. Le contenu est donc fortement orienté dans cette direction. Malgré tout, j'espère qu'il saura vous renseigner sur des aspects de cette période de notre passé artistique. Vous pouvez accéder à l'accueil des notes de recherche ou retourner sur l'accueil du site marcgauthier.com.

The most notable qualities of Holbein are well exemplified in his "Portrait of a Man." The minute, yet not labored, finish of the face, the marvellous rendering of the hands, and the exquisite flesh tints constrasted with the sombre cloak and cap, are in the most characteristic style of this great artist.

A Student.
Half length portrait of a man about thirty five years of age, the face turned three quarters to the left, looking in the same direction, the light falling down from the left. The right arm is brought across the body, the fore arm resting on a table, the hand holding a writing instrument, the left hand resting above a paper with fingers slightly raised from it. Hair hidden by close fitting flat topped cap, faint blond mustache. Dressed in a black gown with furred collar falling open in front showing lace shirt fastened by two links. Along the falling edges of the gown run narrow striped of purple. Background, dark greenish grey. The words, "Spes Mea Dei", appear on the parchment under his hand.
