Painting Description
"Woman from Psarra Plucking a Rooster" is a notable painting by the Greek artist Nikiforos Lytras, created in 1870. Lytras, who is considered one of the most important representatives of the Greek artistic movement of the 19th century, was known for his genre paintings, portraits, and historical scenes. This particular work is a genre painting that depicts a scene from everyday life, showcasing a woman from the island of Psarra engaged in the mundane task of plucking a rooster.
The painting is significant for its realistic portrayal of rural Greek life during the period and is a fine example of Lytras' attention to detail and his ability to capture the essence of the human condition. The composition focuses on the woman, who is absorbed in her task, providing a glimpse into the domestic activities of the time. The use of light and shadow, as well as the textural contrast between the feathers of the rooster and the woman's clothing, demonstrates Lytras' skill in rendering different surfaces and materials.
As a student of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Munich, Lytras was influenced by the academic realism of the Munich School, which is evident in the precise execution and naturalistic style of this work. "Woman from Psarra Plucking a Rooster" is not only a testament to Lytras' technical prowess but also reflects the cultural and social milieu of Greece post-independence, contributing to the understanding of the period's ethos.
The painting is part of the collection of the National Gallery – Alexandros Soutzos Museum in Athens, Greece, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance. It remains an important piece in the oeuvre of Nikiforos Lytras, offering insight into the daily life and character of the Greek people in the 19th century.
