Spring or Joy,
EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating masterpiece by Jean-Baptiste Tuby (1630-1702), created around 1685, is a stunning representation of the rejuvenating power of spring. This white marble sculpture, perched elegantly on a red marble socle, is currently housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), adding to its European artistic heritage. Tuby, a French artist, was a prominent figure in the Baroque era, renowned for his dynamic and expressive figures. In "Spring or Joy," he skillfully captures the essence of the season, encapsulating the joy and vitality that spring brings. Two exuberant women, dressed in flowing robes, dance in a circle, their faces filled with delight and their arms outstretched in a graceful embrace. The women's bodies are adorned with intricate details, from their curly locks to their delicate feet, showcasing Tuby's mastery of the art of sculpture. The contrasting colors of the white marble figures against the red marble socle serve to highlight the women's joyful energy and the vibrant spirit of spring. This sculpture, a testament to the Baroque era's emphasis on emotion and movement, invites viewers to experience the unbridled joy and renewal that spring brings. Originally from France, "Spring or Joy" is a reminder of the rich artistic heritage that Europe, and specifically France, has contributed to the world. This sculpture, now a cherished piece in LACMA's collection, continues to inspire and delight visitors, offering a glimpse into the past and the enduring power of art to evoke emotion and connect people across continents and centuries.
