Rheingold, huile de 1937 attribuée à Yan B. Morel-Dyl

Dans une eau bleue et verte, posée à touches larges et hachées, trois figures féminines nues ondoient autour d'une longue queue écaillée. L'une élève vers le haut un éclat d'or rayonnant, une autre, la chevelure en flammes jaunes et rouges, tend les bras, la troisième, couronnée de vert, se renverse au premier plan. Au loin, des tours et des arcades se découpent sur un ciel rose. En bas à gauche se lit l'inscription YAN-BERNARD DYL. Un cadre doré sculpté de motifs ondulés enserre la composition.

Né Bernard Louis Marie Morel au Mans en 1887, le peintre adopte vers 1920 le nom de Yan Bernard Dyl et mène une carrière d'illustrateur, de graphiste et de cinéaste autant que de peintre. Il expose au Salon des Tuileries en 1937 et 1938 ; arrêté par la Gestapo en décembre 1943, il meurt à Buchenwald en 1944. Le sujet vient de Wagner : L'Or du Rhin, prologue de l'Anneau, créé à Munich en 1869, met en scène l'or gardé par les filles du Rhin, que dérobe Alberich. Signée en bas à gauche, présentée par le marchand comme datée de 1937, l'œuvre lui est attribuée ; aucune date n'apparaît sur les photos de la face et aucune source ne la documente.

In blue and green water laid down in broad, hatched strokes, three nude female figures undulate around a long scaled tail. One lifts a radiant burst of gold toward the top of the picture, another, her hair in yellow and red flames, stretches out her arms, the third, crowned with green, leans back in the foreground. In the distance, towers and arcades stand against a pink sky. Lower left, the inscription YAN-BERNARD DYL can be read. A gilt frame carved with rippling motifs holds the composition.

Born Bernard Louis Marie Morel in Le Mans in 1887, the painter adopted the name Yan Bernard Dyl around 1920 and worked as illustrator, graphic designer and filmmaker as much as painter. He exhibited at the Salon des Tuileries in 1937 and 1938; arrested by the Gestapo in December 1943, he died in Buchenwald in 1944. The subject comes from Wagner: Das Rheingold, prologue to the Ring, premiered in Munich in 1869, stages the gold guarded by the Rhine maidens and stolen by Alberich. Signed at lower left and presented by the dealer as dated 1937, the work is attributed to him; no date appears in the photographs of the front, and no source documents it.
