Abstract

Au printemps 1650, le tableau du Ravissement de saint Paul de Nicolas Poussin (musée du Louvre) quittait Rome pour Paris. Il avait fallu cinq ans pour que le peintre finisse par satisfaire la demande du poète Paul Scarron. Vingt ans après, le même tableau était extrait des collections de Louis xiv pour être commenté deux fois au sein de l'Académie royale de peinture et de sculpture. Les deux conférences, dont l'une de Charles Le Brun, soulignaient les exceptionnelles qualités formelles de l' œuvre et la complexité de son contenu. Comment comprendre qu'un tableau que Poussin a peint contre son gré ait le plus suscité l'attention des peintres français du xviie siècle ? Telle est la contradiction à laquelle cet essai se confronte, en scrutant le tableau avec minutie et en s'interrogeant sur la capacité d'un regard contemporain à rendre compte d'un tableau ancien. Comment un peintre isolé vivant à Rome pouvait-il concevoir un sujet religieux qu'il savait devoir être goûté dans un salon littéraire parisien ? À quels types d'attentes, mondaines, culturelles, poétiques ou spirituelles pouvait-il vouloir répondre ? En quelle mesure le lieu de création, la Rome baroque, participe-t-il de la spécificité du tableau ? Comment comprendre la fortune singulière de celui-ci dans la France du Grand Siècle ? À travers l'étude de la genèse puis de la réception du Ravissement de saint Paul, du milieu des années 1640 à la fin des années 1670, il s'agit de mieux cerner la manière dont un artiste éminent pouvait appréhender la production d'un tableau et les modalités par lesquelles une œuvre pouvait être attendue, réinventée, intronisée enfin en sa qualité d'œuvre d'art dans la société du xviie siècle.

Abstract

Poussin's Women: Sex and Gender in the Artist's Works examines the paintings and drawings of the well-known seventeenth-century French painter Nicolas Poussin (1594-1665) from a gender studies perspective, focusing on a critical analysis of his representations of women. The book's thematic chapters investigate Poussin's women in their roles as predators, as lustful or the objects of lust, as lovers, killers, victims, heroines, or models of virtue. Poussin's paintings reflect issues of gender within his social situation as he consciously or unconsciously articulated its conflicts and assumptions. A gender studies approach brings to light new critical insights that illuminate how the artist represented women, both positively and negatively, within the framework in his seventeenth-century culture. This book covers the artist's works from Classical mythology, Roman history, Tasso, and the Bible. It serves as a good overview of Poussin as an artist, discussing the latest research and including new interpretations of his major works.

Abstract

The theory and practice of art underwent a number of fascinating changes between the sixteenth and the eighteenth centuries, changes which are clearly revealed in this unique collection of letters, journals, essays, and other writings by the artists and their contemporaries. In the poems of Michelangelo, the Dialogues of Carducho, or the Discourses of Sir Joshua Reynolds, one discovers the stylistic and philosophical concerns of the artist, while the record of Veronese's trial before the Holy Tribunal, the diary of Bernini's journey in France, the letters of Rubens and Poussin or biographical sketches of Rembrandt and Watteau reveal not only the personalities but also the conditions of the times.These basic and illuminating documents, now again available in paperback, provide an unparalleled opportunity for insight into the art and ideas of the periods the author discusses.
