Description
Art historian, Marie Monfort is passionate about the theme of struggle, as a medieval tradition and recurring artistic motif. Delacroix, a classic atheist painter who draws his inspiration from the great masters, expresses through the idea of struggle as a physical and spiritual struggle, a universal projection of man. Delacroix began the restoration of the Chapelle des Saints-Anges in 1849 and set up his studio in 1857 rue de Fürstenberg, to be closer to Saint-Sulpice. This workshop, on the site of the current Delacroix Museum, offers the visitor the opportunity to discover an exceptional place, both an exhibition space for the artist's sketches and a historical site. Completed in 1861, his paintings reveal the technical virtuosity of the artist, then brought to its climax. They embody a rich work, entered into posterity as a source of inspiration for 20th century artists such as Chagall or writers like Kaufmann. Jean-Paul Kaufmann, in fact, has learned from a "fight with the angel" of Saint-Sulpice a mystical experience. For the playwright and filmmaker Patrice Chéreau, the rediscovery of Delacroix's works led him to an annual pilgrimage to Saint-Sulpice. It is this universal character of the work that the exhibition tends to reveal. The exhibition thus offers a real journey through time, from Raphael to Chagall. Cet ouvrage accompagne l'exposition éponyme présentée au musée national Eugène Delacroix, Paris, du 11 avril au 23 juillet 2018. Eugène Delacroix reçut en 1849 la commande des décors peints de la chapelle des Saints-Anges de l'église Saint-Sulpice. Cette oeuvre monumentale, riche, sublime, qui l'occupa jusqu'en 1861, a pu être considérée, après son décès, comme son testament spirituel. La manière singulière avec laquelle Delacroix avait choisi de traiter les épisodes bibliques de la Lutte de Jacob avec l'ange, de Saint Michel terrassant le démon ou d'Héliodore chassé du Temple montrait combien l'artiste était demeuré fidèle à son art, réinventant un motif classique de la peinture ? celui de la lutte ?, puisant aux sources antiques, florentines, vénitiennes, flamandes, pour le transfigurer.0L'oeuvre de Delacroix à Saint-Sulpice constitue, depuis son achèvement, le modèle indépassable, formellement et artistiquement, de la scène de la lutte. Le peintre lui donna en effet une transcendance nouvelle, celle du corps à corps de l'homme avec son destin, de l'artiste avec sa création. Il conçut là une lutte moderne qui fut constamment réintérogée par ses successeurs ? Maurice Denis, Gustave Moreau, Marc Chagall et bien d'autres ?, et qui, aujourd'hui encore, ne cesse de nous impressionner.
