Romains de la décadence
Musée d'Orsay[2]
Thomas Couture (født 21. december 1815 i Senlis i det franske departement Oise, død 30. marts 1879 i Villiers-le-Bel ved Paris) var en fransk maler. Couture var elev af Antoine-Jean Gros og Paul Delaroche.
Couture optrådte først med billeder som Den fortabte søn, Kærlighed til guldet, der gjorde megen lykke, og nåede højdepunktet med: Forfaldstidens romere[1], et stort, figurrigt billede med halvnøgne kvinder og mænd, sløve og overmætte af orgiets vellyst. Billedet blev udstillet på Parisersalonen i 1847 og vakte en del opsigt. Det viser teknisk dygtighed, både ved sikker formgivning og en farvevirkning, hvis toner er afpasset emnets karakter.
Coutures senere værker betegner en nedgang i kunstnerisk værdi.[3] I slutningen af sit liv var denne "Klassicismens Dekadent" en glemt mand. Hans tekniske mesterskab, som ikke kan dække over billedernes mangel på dybere indhold, anviste ham imidlertid en plads som en meget søgt lærer, til hvem kunstneremner alle vegne fra, således også fra Norden, særlig Sverige: Johan Christoffer Boklund, Ferdinand Fagerlin, Geskel Saloman, August Jernberg, strømmede hen i 1850'erne, og hans kunsthistoriske betydning i denne henseende strækker sig derfor vidt.
Af hans senere arbejder kan nævnes det virtuost udførte Falkejægeren fra 1855[4] og vægmalerierne i kirken Saint-Eustache med fremstillinger af Marias liv. Couture har skrevet Entretiens d’atelier og Paysage, 1868-69, der skaffede ham mange fjender blandt hans kunstfæller. På den franske kunstudstilling i København 1914 sås bl.a. Ærkebiskop Sibour, studie til Kejserprinsens dåb, et af de af Napoleon 3. bestilte og delvis ufuldendte historiemalerier.

He is now remembered primarily for his influence as a teacher of other artists, such as Edouard Manet and Pierre Puvis de Chavannes, and his great influence on American painting through a number of American artists who studied with him in Paris, most notably William Morris Hunt. ..."

Thomas Couture, The Thorny Path (1873).jpg
The painting is a satire of decadent French society, and depicts a bare-breasted courtesan driving a carriage pulled by (from left to right) a naked elderly man representing over-indulgence; a troubadour representing youthful love; a young student who is writing, representing the educated nobility insensible to daily life's realities, and an old soldier filled with regret. The old woman sitting at the back of the carriage may symbolize the courtesan's future, while the thorny plants along the road indicate the difficulty of their journey. (See the reference below.)

Thomas Couture - Daydreams - Walters 3744.jpg
Since the 16th century, a figure blowing bubbles has served as an allegory for the vice of vanity. A schoolboy slouches on a chair beside his unopened books as bubbles drift overhead. The note tucked in the broken glass reads: "Le Parasseux indigne de vivre" (the lazy one unworthy of living). The soap bubbles and the crumbling wall suggest the fleeting nature of time, and the laurel wreath symbolizes glory ignored. Rejecting prevailing academic traditions, Couture developed a highly personal technique involving bright colors and expressive paint textures, which was based on his studies of Venetian works in the Louvre Museum. He frequently depicted contemporary subjects but filled them with moral overtones. An influential teacher, Couture trained such artists as Edouard Manet, Puvis de Chavannes, Mary Cassatt, and Eastman Johnson.

Thomas Couture - Lawyer Going to Court - Walters 371204.jpg
A lawyer walks up a wind-blown street, presumably in the artist's native town of Senlis in north-central France. Although he specialized in allegorical paintings, such as "Daydreams," Couture urged his pupils to select subjects drawn from contemporary life. In this scene, the choice of subject and the spontaneity of treatment recall the works of Honoré Daumier (1809-79). The painting also demonstrates the artist's use of exposed areas of white, primed canvas to lend texture and immediacy to his technique.
