David Wilkie et la peinture de la vie quotidienne<\/h2>\n
\n
David Wilkie (1785-1841) donne \u00e0 la vie quotidienne la richesse d\u2019un r\u00e9cit. Un geste ou un regard r\u00e9v\u00e8le le caract\u00e8re d\u2019un personnage, tandis que la lumi\u00e8re souligne les moments essentiels de la sc\u00e8ne. Ce peintre \u00e9cossais, dont la carri\u00e8re s\u2019affirme \u00e0 Londres, se distingue par ses sc\u00e8nes de genre, ses portraits, puis ses compositions historiques et religieuses.<\/p>\n

David Wilkie de l\u2019\u00c9cosse \u00e0 Londres<\/h2>\n

N\u00e9 \u00e0 Cults, dans le Fife, il est le fils d\u2019un pasteur de campagne. \u00c0 quinze ans, il entre \u00e0 la Trustees\u2019 Academy d\u2019\u00c9dimbourg. Les f\u00eates de village, les noces et les rencontres \u00e0 l\u2019auberge lui offrent bient\u00f4t des sujets o\u00f9 observer les habitudes et les relations humaines.<\/p>\n

En 1805, il s\u2019installe \u00e0 Londres pour poursuivre sa formation aux Royal Academy Schools. Son talent trouve rapidement des soutiens. Sir George Beaumont lui commande The Blind Fiddler, aujourd\u2019hui dans les collections de la Tate. Le collectionneur John Julius Angerstein devient \u00e9galement son m\u00e9c\u00e8ne. Wilkie est \u00e9lu membre de la Royal Academy en 1811.<\/p>\n

Le r\u00e9cit par le geste et la lumi\u00e8re<\/h2>\n

La peinture hollandaise et flamande nourrit son regard. Les \u0153uvres d\u2019Adriaen van Ostade, de David Teniers et de Rembrandt lui offrent des r\u00e9f\u00e9rences pour composer un int\u00e9rieur, observer les caract\u00e8res et donner \u00e0 la lumi\u00e8re un r\u00f4le expressif.<\/p>\n

Chez David Wilkie, toutefois, les d\u00e9tails servent avant tout le r\u00e9cit. Les personnages se r\u00e9pondent et invitent le spectateur \u00e0 comprendre leurs relations. \u00c0 c\u00f4t\u00e9 de ces sc\u00e8nes anim\u00e9es, A Young Woman kneeling at a Prayer Desk<\/a>, peint en 1813, r\u00e9v\u00e8le une sensibilit\u00e9 plus intime, attentive \u00e0 la pr\u00e9sence d\u2019une figure solitaire.<\/p>\n

Les voyages en Europe et la carri\u00e8re \u00e0 la cour<\/h2>\n<\/article>\n<\/section>\n
\n
En 1823, il devient King\u2019s Limner for Scotland, peintre du souverain en \u00c9cosse. Entre 1825 et 1828, il voyage ensuite en France, en Italie et en Espagne. L\u2019\u00e9tude de Titien, du Corr\u00e8ge et de Vel\u00e1zquez l\u2019encourage \u00e0 \u00e9largir sa touche et \u00e0 aborder des sujets historiques.Nomm\u00e9 peintre de cour de George IV en 1830, il conserve cette fonction sous Guillaume IV et la reine Victoria. Il est anobli en 1836. Sa r\u00e9putation gagne aussi l\u2019Europe continentale, o\u00f9 le prince h\u00e9ritier de Bavi\u00e8re acquiert une de ses \u0153uvres pour sa galerie de Munich.<\/p>\n

Le dernier voyage et l\u2019hommage de Turner<\/h2>\n

En 1840, il part pour le Moyen-Orient. Il souhaite renouveler la peinture religieuse au contact des lieux et des habitants de la Terre sainte. Il meurt en mer en 1841, pendant le voyage de retour. Turner \u00e9voque son inhumation en mer dans Peace Burial at Sea<\/a>, aujourd\u2019hui \u00e0 la Tate.<\/p>\n

Une \u0153uvre de David Wilkie \u00e0 la galerie<\/h3>\n

Egidi MadeinItaly propose The Parish Beadle<\/a>, une huile sur toile dat\u00e9e vers 1820-1823. Christie\u2019s la d\u00e9crit comme une esquisse \u00e0 grandeur d\u2019ex\u00e9cution pour le tableau homonyme de la Tate Britain. La rencontre entre un bedeau et une troupe d\u2019artistes itin\u00e9rants r\u00e9v\u00e8le l\u2019ironie discr\u00e8te du peintre.<\/p>\n
