Je vous propose cette\u00a0rare gravure sur bois du XVIe si\u00e8cle d’Andr\u00e9 Thevet, publi\u00e9e vers 1575, illustrant une sc\u00e8ne c\u00e9r\u00e9monielle \u00e0 la cour de Tamerlan (Timur, 1336-1405).<\/p>\n
La composition repr\u00e9sente un rituel de cour oriental, traditionnellement interpr\u00e9t\u00e9 comme une c\u00e9r\u00e9monie de circoncision, entour\u00e9 de personnages richement v\u00eatus et coiff\u00e9s de turbans, de musiciens et de serviteurs.<\/p>\n
Ce type d’iconographie refl\u00e8te la fascination de l’Europe de la Renaissance pour les mondes ottoman, perse et mongol, m\u00ealant souvent r\u00e9cit historique et exotisme.<\/p>\n
Thevet, cosmographe royal de la cour de France, a produit des ouvrages influents d\u00e9crivant des cultures lointaines, ce qui rend ces gravures tr\u00e8s recherch\u00e9es.<\/p>\n
D’une grande qualit\u00e9 graphique, avec un trait dense caract\u00e9ristique des premi\u00e8res gravures sur bois.<\/p>\n
Une authentique estampe de la Renaissance et non une reproduction post\u00e9rieure avec un texte visible au verso confirmant son impression d’\u00e9poque.<\/p>\n
Gravure en xylographie sur papier verg\u00e9 ombr\u00e9. La feuille fait 16,8 cm par 14,6 cm. La gravure seule fait 16,2 cm par 13,6 cm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
