Saint Jean-Baptiste et Marie-Madeleine, deux ovales peints en pendant

Deux ovales se répondent. À gauche, un enfant aux boucles claires, torse nu sous une peau de bête et un manteau rouge, serre contre lui un agneau et tient une longue croix où s'enroule une banderole. À droite, une jeune femme aux longs cheveux bruns, la joue posée dans la main, tient un crucifix ; près d'elle, un livre ouvert, un crâne et un vase de métal. Chacun se détache devant une grotte sombre ouverte sur un paysage bleuté. Les carnations restent fraîches, sous un réseau de craquelures et de légères ondulations de la toile.

La peinture religieuse a fixé pour chacun de ces saints un vocabulaire précis. Jean-Baptiste porte la tunique en poil de chameau, l'agneau, parfois posé sur un livre, et la longue croix ; Marie-Madeleine se reconnaît à son vase d'onguent, à sa longue chevelure et à ses larmes, et la tradition des Madeleines pénitentes la montre en ermite retirée dans un paysage. Ici, les attributs se lisent d'un ovale à l'autre, et un même décor de grotte et de lointain bleuté rapproche les deux toiles. Aucun peintre ni école n'est nommé ; la fiche date la paire du XVIIIe siècle et la range dans le goût Louis XV-Transition.

Read in English

Two ovals answer each other. On the left, a child with light curls, bare-chested beneath an animal skin and a red mantle, holds a lamb close and grasps a long cross around which a banderole winds. On the right, a young woman with long brown hair, her cheek resting in her hand, holds a crucifix; beside her lie an open book, a skull and a metal vase. Each figure stands out against a dark grotto opening onto a bluish landscape. The flesh tones stay fresh beneath a web of craquelure and slight undulations of the canvas.

Religious painting fixed a precise vocabulary for each of these saints. John the Baptist wears the camel-hair tunic and carries the lamb, sometimes resting on a book, and the long cross; Mary Magdalene is known by her ointment jar, her long hair and her tears, and the tradition of the penitent Magdalene shows her as a hermit withdrawn into a landscape. Here the attributes read clearly from one oval to the other, and a shared setting of grotto and blue distance draws the two canvases together. No painter or school is named; the listing dates the pair to the eighteenth century and files it under the Louis XV Transition taste.

Sources and points to validate
  • Saint Jean-Baptiste est représenté avec une tunique de peau de chameau, un agneau posé sur un livre, une longue croix, parfois une tête sur un plateau. https://www.christianiconography.info/johnBaptist.html
  • Marie-Madeleine est reconnaissable à son vase à onguent, ses longs cheveux et ses larmes ; dans les Madeleines pénitentes elle apparaît en ermite dans un paysage. https://artuk.org/discover/stories/saint-or-sinner-how-to-spot-mary-magdalene
To be validated
  • Aucun peintre, atelier ni école indiqué : la datation XVIIIe siècle est celle de la fiche, sans expertise indépendante.
  • La fiche ne précise pas la forme des médaillons (ovale ou ronde), leur cadre, ni si la paire a toujours été réunie.
  • Orthographe de la fiche (Batiste, Madelaine) corrigée dans la notice.
  • Le champ Style Louis XV - Transition s'applique mal à une peinture ; il renvoie sans doute au cadre ou au goût de la période.
  • Dimensions sans unité (60 x 74), non vérifiées ; restaurations, rentoilage et état de la couche picturale non détaillés.
