Item Overview

Description

PERSÉE DÉLIVRANT ANDROMÈDE Par Joseph CHINARD (Lyon, 1756 – Lyon, 1813) Vers 1786 Matériau Plâtre patiné Inscription sur la base : Esquisse du Ier Prix remporté à Rome au cours de l’année 1786 par J. Chinard H. 44, 5 cm

Notre oeuvre représentant Persée délivrant Andromède, en plâtre patiné à l’imitation de la terre cuite, se révèle être un précieux témoignage du concours Balestra de l’Académie de Saint Luc à Rome, remporté en 1786 par Joseph Chinard. Cet artiste, pétri de néoclassicisme et de culture antique, sut se rendre célèbre par ses talents de portraitiste des grands noms de l’Empire tels Napoléon, Joséphine ou encore Juliette Récamier. Il travailla également aux sculptures de l’Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel et au Monument dédié au Général Desaix à Clermont-Ferrand. S’inspirant du chapitre IV des Métamorphoses d’Ovide, Chinard présente l’épisode où Andromède, retenue prisonnière en raison des « écarts de langage » de sa mère Cassiopée, qui s’était déclarée plus belle que toutes les néréides, s’apprête à être délivrée par Persée des griffes d’un monstre marin envoyé par Neptune. Notre oeuvre reste fidèle à son groupe en terre cuite initial qui lui valut le premier prix en 1786 et aujourd’hui conservé à l’Académie de Saint Luc à Rome. Afin de pouvoir satisfaire l’engouement de commanditaires, Chinard obtient l’autorisation de copier son groupe. Sur notre réduction en plâtre patiné, Chinard introduit une base circulaire, Persée est coiffé d’un casque à ailettes et sa nudité est dissimulée. Andromède, quant à elle, se voit parée d’un anneau au pied gauche. Le soin porté à l’arrière de la sculpture, montrant un dragon et un profil de Méduse, incite le spectateur à tourner autour. Notre groupe demeure un rare témoignage du travail de Chinard dans sa période italienne. Seulement quelques exemplaires, avec des variantes, sont inventoriés. Celui en terre cuite conservé au Detroit Institute of Arts Museum ou celui, également en terre cuite, présenté au Musée des Beaux-arts de Lyon daté de 1791. Charles-Antoine Terray, Intendant de la Ville de Lyon, fasciné par cette oeuvre, commanda une variation en marbre que Chinard commença à réaliser mais qui demeurera inachevée après l’exécution de son commanditaire en 1793.
