Une soirée chez Madame Geoffrin, impression sous cadre doré

Dans un salon aux hautes corniches, tendu de tableaux et de médaillons, une assemblée nombreuse en perruque se presse autour d'une table où l'on lit. Au centre, sur une colonne, se dresse un buste. L'image, en gris nuancé, détaille les plis de soie et les visages tournés vers le lecteur. Sous la scène, la lettre en capitales donne le titre et une dédicace au prince Eugène, duc de Leuchtenberg. Un cadre doré à palmettes et rinceaux enserre la feuille.

La scène vient d'un tableau d'Anicet Charles Gabriel Lemonnier, peint en 1812 pour Joséphine de Beauharnais, qui réunit cinquante-cinq figures autour d'une lecture de L'Orphelin de la Chine, sous un buste de Voltaire. Le roi n'y paraît pas. Le titre, Le Siècle de Louis XV, désigne l'époque, et la soirée de 1755 relève de la reconstitution. En 1821, Philibert-Louis Debucourt en tire une aquatinte aujourd'hui conservée au musée Carnavalet. La galerie date cette impression du XIXe siècle sans préciser de quelle gravure elle dérive.

Read in English

In a salon with high cornices, hung with paintings and medallions, a large gathering in powdered wigs presses around a table where a reading is under way. At the centre, on a column, stands a bust. The image, in nuanced greys, picks out the folds of silk and the faces turned toward the reader. Beneath the scene, the lettering in capitals gives the title and a dedication to Prince Eugène, Duke of Leuchtenberg. A gilt frame with palmettes and scrolling foliage encloses the sheet.

The scene comes from a painting by Anicet Charles Gabriel Lemonnier, made in 1812 for Joséphine de Beauharnais, which gathers fifty-five figures around a reading of L'Orphelin de la Chine beneath a bust of Voltaire. The king does not appear. The title, Le Siècle de Louis XV, names the era, and the evening of 1755 is a reconstruction. In 1821 Philibert-Louis Debucourt made an aquatint after it, now held by the Musée Carnavalet. The gallery dates this print to the nineteenth century without saying which engraving it derives from.

Sources and points to validate
  • Le tableau d'Anicet Charles Gabriel Lemonnier, peint en 1812 pour Joséphine de Beauharnais, réunit 55 figures dont un buste de Voltaire ; Louis XV n'y figure pas ; le titre renvoie au Siècle de Louis XV. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lecture_de_la_trag%C3%A9die_de_L'Orphelin_de_la_Chine_de_Voltaire_dans_le_salon_de_Madame_Geoffrin
  • Philibert-Louis Debucourt a gravé en 1821 une aquatinte, Siècle de Louis XV. Une soirée chez Madame Geoffrin en 1755, 49,3 x 71,4 cm, conservée au musée Carnavalet. https://www.parismuseescollections.paris.fr/fr/musee-carnavalet/oeuvres/siecle-de-louis-xv-une-soiree-chez-madame-geoffrin-en-1755-0
To be validated
  • On ignore de quelle gravure dérive cette impression : l'aquatinte de Debucourt de 1821 est la plus documentée, mais d'autres reprises existent peut-être ; le lien n'est pas établi par la fiche.
  • Procédé d'impression, date exacte de tirage, papier, rousseurs, plis et cadre non décrits.
  • Le titre de la fiche mêle le nom du roi et celui du salon ; la scène reste une reconstitution d'un événement supposé de 1755, non un fait documenté.
