Le destin de la "Voltairiade" de Jean Huber
Cahiers Voltaire. 2019. No. 18. P. 103–127.
Karp S. Y.
La fameuse série des neuf scènes de la vie domestique de Voltaire à Ferney, conservée au Musée de l'Ermitage à Saint-Pétersbourg, occupe une place centrale dans l'oeuvre de l'artiste genevois Jean Huber. Au milieu des années 1990, quand j'ai commencé à préparer la nouvelle édition de la correspondance de Catherine II avec Grimm, je suis tombé aux Archives des actes anciens à Moscou sur la liste des tableaux de Huber envoyés à Catherine II en 1775. J'ai publié ce document en 2003. La description de Grimm présente un intérêt particulier pour deux raisons. Tout d'abord, les sujets des tableaux qui y figurent ne correspondent pas en tout point à leurs désignations traditionnelles. En outre, Grimm a énuméré non pas neuf, mais douze tableaux de Huber envoyés en 1775 à Catherine II. Elle a donc reçu trois toiles dont on ignorait l'existence. Récemment j'ai pu recueillir de nouvelles informations qui jettent quelque lumière sur le destin de cette série.

Автор статьи приходит к выводу, что торжества были частью политической стратегии императрицы, и их риторика менялась в зависимости от «целевой аудитории». Высокоторжественные дни, празднование которых выносилось на общеимперский уровень, были призваны легитимировать власть Екатерины в ...
