Summary

[edit]
Description
Français : Francisque Duret, Chactas méditant sur le corps d'Atala (1835), statue en bronze exposée au Salon de 1836, fonte Quesnel.

Cette sculpture s’inspire du roman romantique Atala, ou Les Amours de deux sauvages dans le désert de Chateaubriand publié en 1801. Un jeune indien, Chactas, est assis sur un rocher. Il médite sur la tombe de sa bien-aimée Atala, dont le nom est inscrit sur une des deux croix posées à ses pieds. L’épisode se situe au lendemain des funérailles : « Je m’assis sur la terre fraîchement remuée. Un coude appuyé sur mes genoux, et la tête soutenue dans ma main, je demeurai enseveli dans la plus amère rêverie. » Cette œuvre qui représente un Améridien avant sa conversion au catholicisme s’inscrit dans la lignée iconographique des figures de la Mélancolie par l’attitude corporelle. Elle est à la fois classique par sa composition, exotique et romantique par son sujet.

On ignore les raisons de l’achat du Chactas de Duret par le ministère de l’Intérieur et de son envoi rapide à Lyon.
