[English follows] « Je m'intéresse à la finitude du paysage pastoral. Des peintures représentant des étendues de campagne pittoresques et invitantes apparaissaient déjà sur les murs romains, servant de toiles de fond tout au long de la Renaissance. Cependant, le genre prit véritablement son essor au cours de la période baroque, sous l'influence de Claude Lorrain. Ces vues idéalisées combinent et recombinent des motifs évoquant l'Arcadie, la terre de Pan en Grèce antique : de longues perspectives encadrées par de grands arbres laissent entrevoir de l'eau, des bergers, du bétail et des figures mythologiques. Le spectateur peut également toujours y trouver des traces de civilisation, parfois sous la forme de capriccios architecturaux, parfois sous celle du mercantilisme. Le genre reste extrêmement populaire jusqu'à la fin du XIXᵉ siècle, au moment où le pastoralisme bucolique perd sa cohésion ; ces fantasmes écologiques, qui représentent les ingrédients holistiques de l'existence, semblent s'effriter face à la modernité. »- RW

« I am interested in the finitude of the pastoral landscape. Paintings that describe inviting picturesque sweeps of countryside appeared on Roman walls and functioned as backdrops through the Renaissance, however the genre really came into its own during the Baroque period under the influence of Claude Lorrain. These idealized views combine and recombine motifs that evoke Arcadia, the land of Pan in ancient Greece: long vistas framed by large trees show glimpses of water, shepherds, livestock, and mythological figures. A viewer can also always find evidence of civilization, sometimes in the form of architectural capriccios, sometimes in the form of mercantilism. The genre remained hugely popular until the end of the 19th century when the bucolic pastoral lost cohesion; these ecological fantasies, which present the holistic ingredients of existence, seem to break down in the face of modernity. » - RW
