摘要
让-安托万-泰奥多尔-吉罗斯特(Jean-Antoine-Théodore Giroust)的《竖琴课》是 1791 年沙龙最大、最引人注目的作品之一,它雄心勃勃,但却不合时宜地介入了革命政治。它源于费丽泰-德-热利斯(Félicité de Genlis)为奥尔良公爵的子女,尤其是阿德莱德公主(Princess Adélaïde)开展的一项杰出的教育计划,该计划将有关性别和公民美德的大胆想法与具体的政治野心结合在一起。本文将这幅画置于奥尔良家庭的实验政治和情感危机之中。文章认为,作为奥尔良家庭的亲密成员,吉罗斯特试图体现热那亚对她所照顾的皇室子女的能力和潜力的一些大胆主张,尤其是以牺牲他们的生母为代价。这幅画展示了吉罗斯特如何运用近期沙龙绘画的视觉语言,创造出一个女性成就的家庭场景,同时也蕴含着国家使命。这幅画未能引起公众的共鸣,揭示了奥尔良阵营中不同人物的孤注一掷,以及 1791 年夏天未能实现的可能性。
Harping on patriotism: female education meets Orléanist ambition in Jean-Antoine-Théodore Giroust’s The Harp Lesson (1791)
One of the largest and most striking submissions to the 1791 Salon, The Harp Lesson by Jean-Antoine-Théodore Giroust was an ambitious but spectacularly ill-timed intervention in revolutionary politics. It emerged from Félicité de Genlis’ remarkable educational project for the children of the duc d’Orléans, especially Princess Adélaïde, which mixed bold ideas about gender and civic virtue with specific political ambition. This article situates the painting within the experimental politics and sentimental crises of the Orléans household. It argues that Giroust, an intimate of this household, sought to exemplify some of Genlis’ boldest claims for the capacities and potential of the royal children in her care, especially at the expense of their biological mother. It demonstrates how Giroust engaged with the visual languages of recent Salon painting to create a domestic scene of female accomplishment that was also freighted with national purpose. The failure of the painting to resonate with the public illuminates the desperate gamble of different figures in the Orléanist camp as well as the unfulfilled possibilities of summer 1791.
