Abstract:
Jean-Martin Charcot (1825-1893) is known to have possessed interesting works of art, e.g. Jan Steen\'s Marriage at Cana. In 1899, his pupil and colleague Henry Meige (1866-1940) wrote that Charcot had been interested in a painting (after a drawing) by Bruegel, named Les Arracheurs de Pierres de Teste. At the time the painting belonged to Charcot\'s contemporary Ernest Mesnet (1825-1898). When Charcot visited Mesnet, he offered him a considerable amount of money. The owner did not want to sell it, but promised to leave it to Charcot in his will. As Charcot died earlier than Mesnet, the painting went to the latter\'s heirs. In 1899, it was possessed by dermatologist dr. Paul de Molènes-Mahon (b. 1857). Meige published an article, in which he criticized the quality of the copy. Surgeon Henri Gaudier (1866-1942) wrote about the original painting in the Museum of St. Omer and confirmed Meige\'s opinion about the copy. I will illustrate the St. Omer painting and describe Meige\'s and Gaudier\'s comments by comparing it with the black & white copy in Meige\'s 1899 article. My study looks at Charcot as a collector of paintings, which is a minimally studied topic. He may have been interested in the Paris Bruegel copy for clinical and medical-historical reasons, rather than on aesthetic grounds.
摘要:
Jean-MartinCharcot(1825-1893)被认为拥有有趣的艺术作品,例如JanSteen在Cana的婚姻。1899年,他的学生和同事HenryMeige(1866-1940)写道,Charcot对布鲁格尔的一幅画(在绘画之后)感兴趣,名叫LesArracheursdePierresdeTeste.当时这幅画属于Charcot的当代ErnestMesnet(1825-1898)。当Charcot访问Mesnet时,他给了他一大笔钱。店主不想卖掉它,但他在遗嘱里答应留给Charcot.因为Charcot比Mesnet早死,这幅画交给了后者的继承人。1899年,它被皮肤科医生博士拥有。保罗·德摩尔内斯-马洪(b.1857).Meige发表了一篇文章,他批评了副本的质量。外科医生HenriGaudier(1866-1942)在圣奥默博物馆撰写了有关原画的文章,并确认了Meige对副本的看法。我将通过与Meige1899年文章中的黑白副本进行比较来说明St.Omer的绘画,并描述Meige和Gaudier的评论。我的研究将Charcot视为绘画收藏家,这是一个研究最少的话题。出于临床和医学历史原因,他可能对巴黎布鲁格尔的复制品感兴趣,而不是出于审美的理由。
