Item Overview

Description

14. Johann Heinrich Hintze (1800-1862)
Chez la comtesse Alphonse de Bruges, née Henriette de Golowkin, à Berlin,
1839
Aquarelle, sur trait de graphite sur papier.
17,5 x 28,5 cm.
Signé et daté en bas à droite : H.Hintze 1839.
Annoté, en haut, à l’encre : « Berlin, chez ma mère bien aimée », puis, en bas : « Naissance de mon fils dans cette chambre / 19 octobre 1834 / un beau jour dans ma vie ».

Provenance :
• Marie Charlotte Apollonie de Bruges (1802-1893), épouse d’Henri-Michel-Scipion, marquis de la Rochelambert (1789-1863) ;
• Puis par descendance jusqu’à aujourd’hui.

Hintze, peintre sur porcelaine formé à la KPM, compte parmi les grands dessinateurs de vues d’intérieurs allemands, à l’instar d’Eduard Gaertner (1801-1877) ou Friedrich Wilhelm Klose (1804-1863). On connaît aussi de lui une belle production de paysages et de vues urbaines, nourris de ses nombreux voyages à travers l’Allemagne. Attaché au service de Frédéric III de Prusse (1831-1888), on lui doit notamment des vues de la salle des Marbres et de la Petite Galerie du château de SansSouci.

Issue d’un ensemble de quatre vues d’intérieurs provenant de la comtesse de la Rochelambert, née Apollonie de Bruges (1803-1893), jadis conservées dans un colossal album amicorum constitué par elle, retraçant, à l’aide de souvenirs en tous genres (lettres, télégrammes, portraits en miniatures, dessins, découpages, gravures, images pieuses, photographies, mèches de cheveux, etc.), tous les épisodes de sa vie.

Le destin d’Apollonie de La Rochelambert, née au sein d’une famille monarchiste, émigrée sous la Révolution, viscéralement attachée à la famille royale de France, est caractéristique de ces aristocrates loyaux, ayant connu, dans le cours de ce XIXe siècle tourmenté, les joies des faveurs et les affres des exils, au rythme des changements de régimes.

Apollonie voit le jour à Berlin, où son père, le vicomte de Bruges, a émigré et s’est marié à Henriette, comtesse de Golowkin. De retour à Paris, elle se lie d’amitié avec Aurore Dupin, future Georges Sand, au couvent des Dames Augustines Anglaises, puis elle épouse, en 1822, le marquis de La Rochelambert, commandant de cuirassiers de la Garde Royale et gentilhomme ordinaire de la Chambre du roi Charles X. Le jeune couple vit au domaine de Montretout, à Saint-Cloud, propriété de la famille de la mariée, et leurs enfants ont pour camarade de jeu le duc de Bordeaux.

En 1830, lorsque la Révolution de Juillet porte le duc d’Orléans sur le trône des émeutiers, la famille retourne à Berlin et, très favorablement accueillie à la cour royale, y retrouve des familles alliées et amies ; Potocki, Radziwill, etc.
Apollonie devient une figure appréciée de la belle société berlinoise, fréquentant les Arnim, Bismarck, Manteuffel, Hatzfeld, et se liant d’une amitié profonde avec la princesse Augusta de Prusse (1780-1841).

Le couple La Rochelambert ne retournera en France qu’en 1837. Trois de leurs filles connaîtront d’heureux mariages en devenant respectivement comtesses de Valon, de la Poëze, et de la Bédoyère (puis, en secondes noces, princesse Ney de la Moskowa) et feront de belles « carrières » sous les ors du Second Empire, en devenant dame du Palais de l’Impératrice Eugénie.

Dans son annotation manuscrite, Apollonie de Bruges rappelle la naissance de son fils Aimé Alexandre Marie Auguste, futur marquis de La Rochelambert, trésorier-payeur général, chevalier de la Légion d'honneur (9 août 1864), marié, le 28 avril 1868 à Rouen, avec Hélène (1848-1881), fille d'Augustin Pouyer-Quertier (1820-1891), ministre français des Finances (1871-1872).
