JULIA MARGARET CAMERON. The Mountain Nymph Sweet Liberty
![The Mountain Nymph Sweet Liberty. Artist: Julia Margaret Cameron (British (born India), Calcutta 1815-1879 Kalutara, Ceylon). Dimensions: 36.1 x 28.6 cm (14 3/16 x 11 1/4 in. ). Date: 1866.
In Cameron's Mountain Nymph, Sweet Liberty, Miss Keene, an arresting model about whom we know nothing but her last name, stares directly at the camera (and, by extension, at the viewer), her hair loose and her eyes open wide. Filling the frame, she seems to step out of the picture. The photograph takes its title from John Milton's poem L'Allegro, a celebration of life's pleasures:
Come, and trip it as you go
On the light fantastic toe;
And in thy right hand lead with thee
The mountain nymph, sweet Liberty.
Cameron sent the photograph to her friend, the renowned scientist Sir John Herschel, who wrote back, "That head of the 'Mountain Nymph Sweet liberty' (a little farouche & égarée [timid and distraught] by the way, as if first let loose & half afraid that it was too good to last) is really a most astonishing piece of high relief-She is absolutely alive and thrusting out her head from the paper into the air. This is your own special style." Herschel seized upon the photograph's most striking quality, its startling sense of presence and of psychological connection with the viewer.](/photos/prev/MDljZWIxMA/album_alb3606774.webp)

Título:
The Mountain Nymph Sweet Liberty
Descripción:
Traducción automática: La dulce libertad de la ninfa de la montaña. Artista: Julia Margaret Cameron (británica (nacida en la India), Calcuta, 1815-1879 Kalutara, Ceilán). Dimensiones: 36,1 x 28,6 cm (14 3/16 x 11 1/4 pulg. ). Fecha: 1866. En Cameron's Mountain Nymph, Sweet Liberty, Miss Keene, una deslumbrante modelo de la que sólo sabemos su apellido, mira directamente a la cámara (y, por extensión, al espectador), con el pelo suelto y los ojos Abierto. Llenando el marco, parece salirse de la imagen. La fotografía toma su título del poema L'Allegro de John Milton, una celebración de los placeres de la vida: Ven y tropeza mientras caminas En el dedo del pie fantástico y ligero; Y en tu mano derecha lleva contigo La ninfa de la montaña, dulce Libertad. Cameron envió la fotografía a su amigo, el renombrado científico Sir John Herschel, quien le respondió: "Esa cabeza de la 'Mountain Nymph Sweet freedom' (un poco farouche & égarée [tímida y angustiada] por cierto, como si la hubiera soltado por primera vez). & medio temiendo que fuera demasiado bueno para durar) es realmente una asombrosa pieza de alto relieve: está absolutamente viva y saca la cabeza del papel al aire. Este es tu estilo especial". Herschel aprovechó la cualidad más llamativa de la fotografía, su asombrosa sensación de presencia y de conexión psicológica con el espectador.
