Description |
Français : Cette huile sur panneau peinte par la duchesse de Berry représente un chouan au pied d’un autel en costume traditionnel et le fusil à la main. Il s’agit d’un souvenir du périple de l’été 1828 qui visait à reconquérir l’opinion publique hostile à Charles X.
Outre la mise en exergue du goût de la duchesse pour le Moyen Âge et son importance dans la popularisation de la vogue troubadour (dont le cadre néo-gothique d’origine médaillé à l’exposition des arts industriels de 1827 appuie le style), ce tableau illustre ses talents en tant que peintre de ses scènes intimistes à l’esprit médiéval. Principalement connue pour son rôle de protectrice des arts décoratifs, la duchesse de Berry a par ailleurs pratiqué la peinture, le dessin, la gravure et la sculpture. C’est entre autres Storelli (1778-1854) qui lui enseigna l’art de la peinture
English: This oil on panel painted by the Duchesse de Berry depicts a chouan (a royalist insurgent) standing in front of an altar, wearing traditional costume and holding his gun. This is a memory of the tour that took place in summer 1828 in an effort to overturn public opinion, hostile to Charles X.
As well as highlighting the duchess’s taste for the Middle Ages and her importance for the popularization of the troubadour style (exemplified in the original Neo-Gothic frame, awarded a medal at the 1827 industrial arts exhibition), this painting illustrates her skills as a painter of intimate scenes in a medieval vein. Known mostly for her role as a patron of the decorative arts, the Duchesse de Berry also practised painting, drawing, engraving and sculpture. She was taught painting by Storelli (1778-1854) among others. |
