JULIA MARGARET CAMERON (PHOTOGRAPHE). The Mountain Nymph Sweet Liberty
![JULIA MARGARET CAMERON (PHOTOGRAPHE). 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)

The Mountain Nymph Sweet Liberty
Légende:
Traduction automatique: La nymphe des montagnes Sweet Liberty. Artiste : Julia Margaret Cameron (britannique (née en Inde), Calcutta 1815-1879 Kalutara, Ceylan). Dimensions : 36,1 x 28,6 cm (14 3/16 x 11 1/4 in. ). Date : 1866. Dans Cameron's Mountain Nymph, Sweet Liberty, Miss Keene, un modèle saisissant dont nous ne savons rien d'autre que son nom de famille, regarde directement la caméra (et, par extension, le spectateur), ses cheveux lâches et ses yeux grand ouvert. Remplir le cadre, elle semble sortir de l'image. La photographie tire son titre du poème de John Milton, L'Allegro, une célébration des plaisirs de la vie : Viens, et fais-le trébucher au fur et à mesure que tu avances Sur le léger orteil fantastique ; Et dans ta main droite mène avec toi La nymphe des montagnes, la douce Liberté. Cameron a envoyé la photographie à son ami, le célèbre scientifique Sir John Herschel, qui lui a répondu : "Cette tête de la 'Mountain Nymph Sweet Liberty' (un peu farouche & égarée [timide et désemparée] d'ailleurs, comme si elle avait d'abord été lâchée et à moitié effrayée que ce soit trop beau pour durer) est vraiment un morceau de haut-relief des plus étonnants - Elle est absolument vivante et pousse sa tête hors du papier dans les airs. C'est votre propre style spécial. Herschel a saisi la qualité la plus frappante de la photographie, son sens saisissant de présence et de lien psychologique avec le spectateur.
