I posted the three comments because I thought it was interesting how three viewers of different eras who did not know the subject of the painting could still see something very important there. Indeed, I don't know of any other painting that has elicited such responses.<br /><br />A great artist can elicit an emotive response from a wide range of viewers. I don't know why some viewers are moved and others not. <br /><br />Thanks for the comment.

Jun...Seasons Greetings Frank! Interesting points. <br /><br />Jungian psychology is so nebulous, in its application to archetypal symbolism you can really find a phrase in it somewhere to fit anything!<br /><br />A subjective experience, as described by Jung and cohorts is an individualised process - it is hence not necessary to qualify it even in a nominal sense. <br /><br />This type of approach tells us more about the person making the statement than about the actual painting, and that is exactly what has plagued art history for centuries - leading to the current gulf in methodologies between it and the sciences - which has had dire repercussions worldwide, but in the UK in particular.<br /><br />The most basic commonality I see in the examples you have chosen is that they are each an emotive response. Does this mean that anyone who does not have an emotive response to this painting is not perceiving it correctly or is less wise? <br /><br />I like the Rest/Cambrai reading, but I believe it is equally possible to arrive at this meaning by less florid means than Byron and Hutton!<br /><br />Kind Regards<br />HAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02091875643921165081noreply@blogger.com
