Exquisite gouache on canvas signed by Rioux, 1970s. The work introduces us as spectators to a private and intimate environment, a woman from behind, semi-naked, with her hair tied up and standing out against a blurred background in green tones.
At the beginning of the 19th century, a new term emerged within painting that responded to a theme that dealt with daily, family and domestic life: intimacy. Although the concept did not appear until this time, the topic had already been discussed in the History of Art for a long time. Already in the Renaissance there were many women portrayed in interior scenes; Even earlier, the religious image of the Annunciation had portrayed the Virgin Mary in the solitude of her home. But it was not until the 17th century in Holland when this genre was definitively established, with Johannes Vermeer as its greatest exponent. from then on it experienced great development. In France, portraits of female figures in private rooms became popular in the 18th century, and throughout the following centuries, paintings of domestic scenes.
Intimate painting has always shown a clear predilection for the feminine universe, for the representation of women in everyday, intimate moments and family life, such as “tender childhood.” Precisely the aim of intimacy is to provide a certain transcendence to an everyday moment in the lives of the characters. In this type of works, time seems to pass very slowly, creating a feeling of stillness and a silence that pervades everything.
