Français : L'arrivée de la duchesse de Berry à Dieppe
Félice Marie Ferdinand Storelli est un peintre italien du XIXe siècle. Bien connu des cours royales d’Europe, nombre de ses œuvres ont été commandées par la duchesse de Berry, dont il était le professeur de dessin. Ses œuvres ont été également acquises à diverses reprises par le duc d’Orléans ou le roi Charles-Albert de Sardaigne. Il a reçu une médaille de Première classe au Salon de Paris en 1825. C’est en 1824 qu’est inauguré à Dieppe le premier « établissement de bains » à visée thérapeutique dont la duchesse de Berry se fait ambassadrice. Appelés bains Caroline en l’honneur de la duchesse, c’est la fréquence de ses séjours hors de la capitale qui ont contribué à populariser les bains de mer sous la Restauration, alors déjà en vogue en Angleterre. Le Journal des débats décrit la baignade de Son Altesse Royale en ces termes : « Le temps qui s’était opposé jusqu’à ce jour à ce que Mme la duchesse de Berry pût prendre les bains de mer, objet de son voyage à Dieppe, étant devenu plus serein, S. A. R. s’est rendue sur la plage, et, pour la première fois, elle est descendue dans la mer. M. Mourguet, médecin en chef des bains, n’a voulu céder à personne le soin d’accompagner la Princesse, et après avoir revêtu l’habit de baigneur, il a eu l’honneur de conduire S.A.R. et de l’exposer à la vague pendant l’espace d’environ huit minutes. » Cette toile est donc un témoignage de l’histoire de Dieppe en tant que première cité balnéaire de France. Felice Marie Ferdinand Storelli décrit ici un paysage paisible qui correspond à l’ambiance recherchée à Dieppe afin de se ressourcer. Signée en bas à gauche, cette toile est l’une des seules peintures parvenues jusqu’à nous représentant les séjours de Dieppe de la duchesse de Berry et les fêtes commémoratives célébrées en son honneur.English: The Duchess of Berry arriving at Dieppe
Félice Marie Ferdinand Storelli was a nineteenth century Italian painter. Well known in the royal courts of Europe, he was the Duchesse de Berry’s drawing master, and she commissioned many of his works. The Duc d’Orléans and King Charles-Albert of Sardinia also made several purchases of his works. He received a first class medal at the Salon de Paris in 1825. In 1824, the first ‘bathing establishment’ was opened in Dieppe, with a therapeutic mission for which the Duchesse de Berry became an ambassador: it was called the Bains Caroline in her honour. She frequently left the capital to stay in Dieppe during the Restoration, and helped to popularize sea bathing, which was already fashionable in England. The Journal des débats described the duchess’s sea bathing as follows: ‘The weather, which until this day had prevented Mme la Duchesse de Berry from taking sea baths, the purpose of her journey to Dieppe, became milder so Her Royal Highness went to the beach and entered the sea for the first time. Monsieur Mourguet, chief physician at the baths, would yield to no one the task of accompanying the Princess, and after donning his swimming costume he had the honour of escorting Her Royal Highness and exposing her to the waves for about eight minutes’. This painting is therefore a historical record of Dieppe’s status as the first bathing resort in France. Felice Marie Ferdinand Storelli depicts a peaceful landscape which evokes the restorative atmosphere that visitors sought in Dieppe. Signed in the lower left, this canvas is one of the only surviving paintings that depicts the Duchesse de Berry’s visits and the official events held in her honour. |
