Watteau - kolonial - Herrschaft, Handel und Galanterie im Frankreich des Regence (German, Paperback)

What were the early visions of Empire in Regency France? The book offers a interpretation of Jean-Antoine Watteau's Pilgrimage to the Isle of Cythera (1717) by framing it in the context of French colonial expansion in the years of the Regency. Born in Louis XIV's reign, galant aesthetics contributed to frame the colonial encounter in French America. Fantasies of maritime departure, embarkation and/or debarkation, also expressed a longing for colonial travel and exploration. The imperial imagination fueled with codes of galanterie was very developed in the circles of Watteau's amateurs. From Watteau's Pilgrimage to the Isle of Cythera (1717) to its visual reenactment in 1763, the book argues that galanterie served as a visual and conceptual model of French commercial and colonial relations. Quelles furent les premieres visions de l'Empire dans la France de la Regence ? Cet ouvrage propose une interpretation nouvelle du Pelerinage a l'ile de Cythere (1717) de Jean-Antoine Watteau en le replacant dans le contexte de l'expansion coloniale francaise des annees de la Regence. Nee sous le regne et l'imperium de Louis XIV, l'esthetique galante a contribue a donner une forme visuelle a la rencontre coloniale en Amerique francaise. Les motifs du debarquement, de l'embarquement et du voyage maritime, essentiels dans ce tableau, exprimaient egalement un desir de voyage et de conquete. L'imaginaire imperial, alimente par les codes de la galanterie etait tres developpe dans les cercles des commanditaires de Watteau, eux-memes proches des cercles des Modernes, qui defendaient de nouvelles formes esthetiques en art et en litterature. Du Pelerinage a l'ile de Cythere (1717) de Watteau a son remploi visuel en 1763 dans une vue d'optique, le livre soutient que la galanterie servit comme ressource formelle au developpement de l'imaginaire colonial francais.
