Français : Sirviendo el té ou Serving Tea (servir le thé). Huile sur toile, signée M. Bertuchi, Tanger (Maroc), 1899.
Cet œuvre de Bertuchi s'illustre en témoin du faste des traditions du Maroc. D'abord, la servante, qui semble être une Haratine (esclave subsaharienne) à en juger par la couleur foncée choisie pour la peindre mais aussi par son statut de servante, est sur le point de servir le thé à la menthe, suivant l'ancestral rituel marocain du thé. La servante est présentée, habillée d'un somptueux Caftan marocain de couleur bleu, taillé dans du brocart et richement brodé au fil d'or. Dans le Maroc ancien, il était coutume que les esclaves des riches marchands marocains, portent eux-aussi des Caftans de grandes valeurs, un apparat jugé nécessaire pour être présentable devant les hôtes, il s'agissait de faire bonne figure. Au Maroc, les Caftans marocains sont brodés selon les spécificités régionales propres à chaque ville ou région. Ainsi, les broderies ornant ce Caftan marocain bleu, richement brodé au fil d'or à la broderie Khanjar qui est spécifique aux Caftans du Nord du Maroc (Tanger et Tétouan) nous renseigne sur sa provenance. Autour de sa taille, elle porte une ceinture appelée "Hzam nemri" fabriquée en luxueux brocart de Fès. L'auteur n'omet pas de souligner au pinceau les spécificités de l'art de l'artisanat marocain, objets et meubles sont fidèlement reproduits. On y aperçoit notamment l'élément décoratif mural marocain appelé "El Hayti" (ou Haïti/Haiti) que l'on retrouve dans toutes les riches demeures et Riads du Maroc et qui confère au Maroc, une spécificité culturelle propre à ce royaume.English: Sirviendo el té or Serving Tea. Oil on canvas, signed M. Bertuchi, Tangier (Morocco), 1899.
This work by Bertuchi stands out as a witness to the splendor of Moroccan traditions. First, the servant, who appears to be a Haratine (sub-Saharan slave) judging by the dark color chosen to paint her but also by her status as a servant, is about to serve mint tea, following the ancestral Moroccan tea ritual. The servant is presented, dressed in a sumptuous blue Moroccan Caftan, cut from brocade and richly embroidered with gold thread. In ancient Morocco, it was customary for the slaves of rich Moroccan merchants to also wear expensive Caftans, a piece of clothing deemed necessary to be presentable to guests, the aim was to make a good impression. In Morocco, Moroccan Caftans are embroidered according to the regional specificities specific to each city or region. Thus, the embroidery adorning this blue Moroccan Caftan, richly embroidered with gold thread with Khanjar embroidery which is specific to the Caftans of Northern Morocco (Tangier and Tetouan), informs us about its provenance. Around her waist, she wears a belt called "Hzam nemri" made of luxurious Fez brocade. The author does not fail to highlight the specificities of the art of Moroccan craftsmanship, objects and furniture are faithfully reproduced. We can see in particular the decorative Moroccan wall element called "El Hayti" (or Haiti/Haiti) which is found in all the rich residences and Riads of Morocco and which gives Morocco a cultural specificity specific to this kingdom. |
