The vanished (sfumato in Italian) refers to the subtle gradations of tone that was used to obscure the sharp edges and create a synergy between light and shade in painting. We know that Leonardo da Vinci was the first to use this technique, granting his invention so that the enigmatic smile of "Mona Lisa" is has done just this method. With the colors blur and soften and allow ways to fuse together always leaving something to the imagination. With this procedure, the midtones are mixed in the shade, the color fades dark monochromatic colors in other words are superimposed fine layers of paint to give the sense of distance, depth and enigmatic nature of the work.
Frenchman Jean-Jacques Hennes cultivated and emphasized in this style, performing many nude portraits and especially with the blending. Stresses "A Bather mind" where the woman lies sitting with his face in a grove profile at the bottom of a stream, where apparently something distracts your attention while raising his arm, his fingers combing his gentle hair forward over your right shoulder.
In almost all works of Jean-Jacques Hennes can see also sfumato and chiaroscuro, giving a sense of vagueness to his paintings. In "Idylle" with the use of this technique shows a scene equipped beauty. The front one is naked, although both preserves the profile as a subtle means to convey the delicacy, grace and elegance of the nude models. The painting is able to transparently transmit the attitude of the characters. One plays the flute with concentration and self-absorption which becomes tender. The other touched her waist in a gesture vain, arrogant and impatient perhaps not without a touch of eroticism that does succumb wonderful all boredom.
