    • BARTHELEMY TREMBLAY (1568-1629) Marbre Hauteur : 89 cm
      Dec. 14, 2021

      BARTHELEMY TREMBLAY (1568-1629) Marbre Hauteur : 89 cm

      Est: €40,000 - €60,000

      BARTHELEMY TREMBLAY (1568-1629) Marbre Hauteur : 89 cm Buste du roi Henri IV représenté à ornée l’antique - la tête laurée, vêtu à l’antique d’une cuirasse ouverte en carré autour du cou, et orné sur la poitrine d’une tête de gorgone. Le buste est partiellement recouvert d’un manteau, retenue par une fibule sur l’épaule droite. Sous la poitrine, accrochée au plis du manteau, la Croix de l’Ordre du Saint Esprit - l’ordre de chevalerie français fondé par Henri III en 1578. La grande qualité d’exécution de ce marbre ainsi que le style du buste renvoie aux productions du sculpteur Barthélémy Tremblay (1568-1629). BARTHELEMY TREMBLAY (1568-1629) BUST OF HENRI IV IN ARMOR Marble H. 89 cm Bust of King Henry IV represented after the antique - the laureate head, dressed in the antique style with a breastplate open in a square around the neck, and adorned on the chest with a gorgon’s head. The bust is partially covered with a mantle, held by a fibula on the right shoulder. Under the chest, hanging from the folds of the mantle, is the Cross of the Order of the Holy Spirit - the French order of chivalry founded by Henry III in 1578. The high quality of execution of this marble as well as the style of the bust refers to the works of the sculptor Barthélémy Tremblay (1568-1629). Actif sous le règne de Henri IV, il réalise plusieurs sculptures portraiturant le roi, notamment la statue en pied d’Henri IV visible au château de Pau (fig.1) ainsi qu’un buste de marbre conservée au Château de Versailles (fig.2). On retrouve à l’instar de notre buste, un roi en armure, triomphant tel un empereur romain ou un dieu (fig.3). Grand amoureux des arts, il donnera un nouveau souffle au château de Fontainebleau dans lequel il prend résidence en 1593 après trente années de troubles politiques. C’est à cette même période qu’Henri IV commissionne le sculpteur Matthieu Jacquet pour la réalisation de la Grande Cheminée (fig. 4) du château. Le travail de Jacquet, devenu sculpteur du roi, aura probablement influencé la production artistique de Tremblay - voir la tête d’Henri IV en bronze (fig.5) conservée au Musée du Louvre et le buste en marbre du château de Fontainebleau (fig.6). Dans un autre registre, mais toujours dans le même esprit de portraiture - un buste en bronze par Tremblay de Martin Fréminet (fig.7) conçu pour le tombeau du peintre et aujourd’hui conservé au Musée du Louvre. Active during the reign of Henri IV, he produced several sculptures portraying the king, in particular the full-length statue of Henri IV visible at the Château de Pau (fig. 1) as well as a marble bust preserved at the Château de Versailles (fig. 2). Like our bust, we find a king in armor, triumphant like a roman emperor or a god (fig. 3). A great lover of the arts, he gave new life into the Château de Fontainebleau, where he took up residence in 1593 after thirty years of political unrest. It was during this same period that Henri IV commissonned the sculptor Matthieu Jacquet to create the Great Fireplace (fig. 4) of the castle. The work of Jacquet, who became the king’s sculptor, will probably have influenced Tremblay’s artistic production - see the bronze head of Henri IV (fig. 5) in the Louvre Museum and the marble bust of the Château de Fontainebleau (fig. 6). In another register, but still in the same spirit of portraiture - a bronze bust by Tremblay of Martin Fréminet (fig. 7) designed for the painter’s tomb and now kept at the Louvre Museum.
