Summary

[edit]
Description
Français : Hôtel de Châteaurenard, 19 rue Gaston de Saporta, Aix-en-Provence (France).

Il fut construit pour un Conseiller au Parlement par Pierre Pavillon.

La modénature baroque de sa façade sur rue dessinée par Pavillon a été largement détruite lorsqu’on voulut en moderniser l’aspect aux goûts classiques. Les traces des frontons triangulaires au-dessus des fenêtres apparaissent encore sur le mur austère.

L’hôtel conserve pourtant un trésor, la peinture en trompe-l’œil qui couvre toutes les surfaces de la cage de l’escalier central. Elle montre dans des architectures et des paysages, un perroquet dans une cage suspendue et un valet accueillant le visiteur. Le réalisme de cet immense trompe-l’œil stupéfait les contemporains de Jean Daret, qui le peignit en 1656.

Louis XIV, logé dans cet hôtel durant son séjour de 1660, en fut tellement enchanté qu’il prévint ses gardes contre toute dégradation, en les menaçant de sanctions particulières. De plus, il donna à Jean Daret le titre de peintre du Roi.
