[edit]DescriptionEscrain de Charlemagne - Acuarela de Labarre - 1791 01.jpg |
Español: Acuarela de Étienne-Éloi Labarre, de 1791, representando la llamada Pantalla de Carlomagno (Escrain de Charlemagne en francés), una obra de orfebrería carolingia donada por el emperador Carlos el Calvo (823-877) a la Basílica de Saint-Denis (Francia). Perteneció al llamado Tesoro de Saint-Denis hasta que fue incautada y destruida durante la Revolución francesa, en 1794. La Commission temporaire des arts encargó al arquitecto Étienne-Éloi Labarre la realización de la acuarela para dejar documentada la obra antes de su destrucción. Se conserva en la Biblioteca Nacional de Francia (BnF, Estampes et Photographie, Le 38-C-Fol).
La pieza representada era una obra maestra de la orfebrería carolingia y fue fundida a causa de su valor monetario: estaba hecha de oro y tenía engarzadas más de setecientas perlas, dos aguamarinas, ocho rubíes, once amatistas, veintidós granates, ciento treinta y cinco esmeraldas y doscientos nueve zafiros. Datos:
Français : Aquarelle d'Étienne-Éloi Labarre, de 1791, représentant l'Escrain de Charlemagne, une pièce d'orfèvrerie carolingienne donnée par l'empereur Charles le Chauve (823-877) à la basilique Saint-Denis (France). Il appartenait au Trésor de Saint-Denis jusqu'à sa destruction lors de la Révolution française. La Commission temporaire des arts a confié en 1794 l'architecte Étienne-Éloi Labarre de réaliser l'aquarelle pour documenter l'œuvre avant sa destruction. Il est conservé à la Bibliothèque nationale de France (BnF, Estampes et Photographie, Le 38-C-Fol).
La pièce représentée était un chef-d'œuvre de l'orfèvrerie carolingienne et a été détruite a cause de sa valeur monétaire: elle était en or et avait plus de sept cents perles, deux aigues-marines, huit rubis, onze améthystes, vingt-deux grenats, cent trente-cinq émeraudes et deux cent neuf saphirs.
English: Watercolor by Étienne-Éloi Labarre, 1791, representing the so-called Charlemagne's Screen (Escrain de Charlemagne in French), a Carolingian goldsmith work donated by Emperor Charles the Bald (823-877) to the Basilica of Saint-Denis (France). It belonged to the Treasure of Saint-Denis until it was seized and destroyed during the French Revolution, in 1794. The Commission temporaire des arts commissioned the architect Étienne-Éloi Labarre to paint the watercolor to document the work before its destruction. The watercolor is kept in the National Library of France (BnF, Estampes et Photographie, Le 38-C-Fol).
The work represented was a masterpiece of Carolingian goldsmithing and was destroyed because of its high value: it was made of gold with seven hundred pearls, two aquamarines, eight rubies, eleven amethysts, twenty-two garnets, one hundred thirty-five emeralds and two hundred and nine sapphires. |
