Ê„ MARIE-AIMÉ LUCAS-ROBIQUET (1864-1959) L’enrichissement par le savoir Enrichment through knowledge Huile sur toile, signée en bas à droite. DIM. 94 X 122,5 CM (37 X 48.2 in.) Provenance: - Rawleigh Collection U.S.A, puis par descendance. - Acheté en 1997, par l’actuel propriétaire. Cette élève de l’école des Beaux-Arts de Paris et du peintre Félix Barrias est une des rares femmes peintres orientalistes. Elle commença sa carrière en peignant des scènes de la vie européenne, mais c’est pour ses Å“uvres orientalistes qu’elle est aujourd’hui recherchée. Elle peignit des scènes de la vie quotidienne en Afrique de Nord avec une grande douceur et beaucoup tendresse. Elle fut membre de la Société Coloniale des Artistes Français et du Salon de la Société des peintres Orientalistes français. Elle fit partie des peintres qui illustrèrent les emballages de la biscuiterie LU. Son célèbre tableau Tahadat et Khadija (ancienne collection LU) fit l’objet d’une affiche publicitaire. Le très important tableau que nous présentons nous montre une rencontre entre deux personnages. Ils sont très différents. Un jeune caïd noir richement vêtu vient rendre visite à un vieux sage. Le vieil homme, scribe, écrivain public ou érudit religieux écrit. Il est concentré sur son travail. Des livres et un encrier sont posés sur l’épaisse natte qui lui sert de siège. Son intérieur est pauvre, et pourtant il en émane une lumière presque surnaturelle. Toute l’atmosphère est imprégnée de la sagesse et de la sérénité de ce vieillard. Le jeune homme quant à lui semble impatient. L’expression de son visage est farouche et sa main droite ornée d’un bracelet doré a le geste d’une main habituée à donner des ordres. Par signe de respect, il s’est déchaussé. Toute la scène semble émaillée de bleu. Marie Lucas-Robiquet a peint en petites touches, utilisant une palette réduite d’une grande sensibilité. Ici, rien n’est violent, le vieil homme a imprégné son espace de mysticisme. This student of both the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris and painter Félix Barrias represents one of the rare female Orientalist painters. She started her carrier painting scenes of European life, but today is better known for her Orientalist works that capture, with great tenderness, the daily life in North Africa. She became a member of both the Colonial Society of French Artists and the Salon of the Society of French Orientalist painters. Her works, along with other painters, also served as illustrations along the packaging of the famous biscuit company LU. Her celebrated painting Tahadat et Khadija (former collection of LU) was used as a publicity poster. Our important painting presents us with a meeting of two very different people; a young black man richly dressed visits with an older wise man. The old man - scribe, well known writer, or religious scholar - sits writing, visibly concentrated in his work. Books and an ink well rest upon a thick mat where he also sits. The interior is bare, yet it has an emanating light that appears almost supernatural. The entire atmosphere is impregnated with the wisdom and peace of this old man. The young boss, who appears seemingly impatient, carries a bitter expression. On his right hand he wears a gold bracelet, a symbol of a man used to giving orders. As a sign of respect, he has removed his shoes. The entire scene appears tainted in blue. Marie Lucas-Robiquet’s paints with small brushstrokes, using a reduced palette of enormous sensitivity. Here, nothing is violent; the old man fills this space with mysticism.
