Saint Fran\u00e7ois en M\u00e9ditation<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Saint Fran\u00e7ois en m\u00e9ditation<\/b><\/i>\u00a0est un tableau<\/strong> de\u00a0Caravage<\/a>, sans doute peint dans les ann\u00e9es 1600, red\u00e9couvert en 1968 et d\u00e9sormais conserv\u00e9 \u00e0 la\u00a0Galerie nationale d’art ancien<\/a>\u00a0de\u00a0Rome<\/a>. Il en existe une autre version contemporaine tr\u00e8s similaire, conserv\u00e9e dans une \u00e9glise romaine et qui pourrait \u00eatre une copie autographe de Caravage lui-m\u00eame. Toutefois, de nombreux d\u00e9bats d’attribution et de datation continuent d’agiter la communaut\u00e9 des experts autour de ces deux traitements du m\u00eame th\u00e8me.<\/p>\n

Le tableau repr\u00e9sente\u00a0Fran\u00e7ois d’Assise<\/a>, fondateur de l’ordre des Fr\u00e8res mineurs<\/a>\u00a0et grande figure de l’\u00c9glise catholique, en profonde m\u00e9ditation devant un cr\u00e2ne humain qu’il tient \u00e0 la main. Un grand\u00a0crucifix<\/a>\u00a0est pos\u00e9 devant lui, et le d\u00e9cor tr\u00e8s sombre et indistinct focalise toute l’attention du spectateur sur le seul personnage.<\/p>\n

Historique<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

Ce tableau est retrouv\u00e9 par la chercheuse Maria Vittoria Brugnoli en 1968 dans l’\u00e9glise San Pietro de\u00a0Carpineto Romano<\/a>\u00a0dans le\u00a0Latium<\/a>, avant de rentrer dans les collections nationales de l’Italie[<\/span>1]<\/span><\/a><\/sup>. Une copie remarquablement similaire se trouve \u00e9galement dans l’\u00e9glise Santa Maria della Concezione dei Cappuccini<\/a>\u00a0de Rome[<\/span>1]<\/span><\/a><\/sup>\u00a0: jusqu’\u00e0 la red\u00e9couverte du tableau de Carpineto, c’est le tableau de Rome qui \u00e9tait consid\u00e9r\u00e9 comme l’original[<\/span>2]<\/span><\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n

La date pr\u00e9cise de cr\u00e9ation de l\u2019\u0153uvre est sujette \u00e0 d\u00e9bats, et peut aller par exemple d’environ\u00a01595<\/a>\u00a0pour John T.Spike[<\/span>3]<\/span><\/a><\/sup>\u00a0\u00e0\u00a01603<\/a>\u00a0pour\u00a0Sybille Ebert-Schifferer<\/a>[<\/span>4]<\/span><\/a><\/sup>\u00a0et jusqu’aux alentours de\u00a01606<\/a>\u00a0\u2014\u00a0l’ann\u00e9e o\u00f9 Caravage doit fuir Rome o\u00f9 il vient de commettre un meurtre\u00a0\u2014 selon le mus\u00e9e romain qui l’abrite[<\/span>1]<\/span><\/a><\/sup>. Ces diff\u00e9rentes propositions tendent g\u00e9n\u00e9ralement \u00e0 orienter vers la\u00a0p\u00e9riode romaine de l’artiste<\/a>, avant son exil vers Naples et Malte o\u00f9 il poursuit et ach\u00e8ve ensuite sa carri\u00e8re\u00a0; mais l’hypoth\u00e8se d’une production en 1606 pourrait correspondre pr\u00e9cis\u00e9ment au tout d\u00e9but de cette p\u00e9riode d’exil. En effet, au d\u00e9but de l’\u00e9t\u00e9 1606 Caravage s’enfuit initialement au sud de Rome, sur les terres de la famille Colonna\u00a0; et c’est dans une \u00e9glise de cette r\u00e9gion qu’est install\u00e9 le tableau, possiblement command\u00e9 par la famille du cardinal Pietro Aldobrandini (neveu du\u00a0pape Cl\u00e9ment VIII<\/a>) qui avait fait construire l’\u00e9difice[<\/span>2]<\/span><\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n

Description<\/h2>\n

[<\/span>modifier<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<\/span>modifier le code<\/a>]<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

Dans la p\u00e9nombre indistincte de l’ermitage appara\u00eet un faisceau de lumi\u00e8re rasante qui \u00e9claire vivement le profil du\u00a0saint ermite<\/a>[<\/span>2]<\/span><\/a><\/sup>, agenouill\u00e9 dans une posture de profonde m\u00e9ditation. Pr\u00e8s de lui un\u00a0crucifix<\/a>\u00a0est pos\u00e9 et l\u00e9g\u00e8rement sur\u00e9lev\u00e9 sur une pierre, mais son attention est toute absorb\u00e9e par la contemplation d’un cr\u00e2ne qu’il tient \u00e0 la main,\u00a0\u00ab\u00a0attribut de l’ermite p\u00e9nitent\u00a0\u00bb<\/span>\u00a0selon les termes du chercheur Yuri Primarosa[<\/span>2]<\/span><\/a><\/sup>. Conform\u00e9ment \u00e0 la mystique franciscaine de la pauvret\u00e9 telle que mise en avant par les tenants de la\u00a0R\u00e9forme catholique<\/a>, l’habit de\u00a0bure<\/a>\u00a0\u2014\u00a0r\u00eache, d\u00e9chir\u00e9 et rapi\u00e9c\u00e9\u00a0\u2014 est montr\u00e9 de fa\u00e7on tr\u00e8s r\u00e9aliste[<\/span>2]<\/span><\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n

La composition \u2014\u00a0absolument r\u00e9duite \u00e0 l’essentiel\u00a0\u2014 souligne la gravit\u00e9 de la r\u00e9flexion mystique[<\/span>2]<\/span><\/a><\/sup>. Le th\u00e8me de la m\u00e9ditation de saint Fran\u00e7ois est tout \u00e0 fait dans l’air du temps, toutefois le choix d’une m\u00e9ditation sur un cr\u00e2ne plut\u00f4t que sur un crucifix est assez innovante de la part de l’artiste[<\/span>5]<\/span><\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n
