Summary
Description1858 Gustave Le Gray la batterie Royale à Brest.jpg |
Français : La pointe à Recouvrance (Brest) avec en partie haute la batterie Royale et en partie basse la batterie du fer à cheval. Scan d'un tirage sur papier albuminé d'après un négatif sur verre au collodion 315 x 405 mm. La batterie Royale est visible sur le plan: File:Carte de Brest - ca 1700 - Bibliothèque Nationale de France - Btv1b8439976x.jpg
C'est l'une des photos de la série que Gustave Le Gray a fait dans le cadre de la visite de Napoléon III à Brest lors d'une tournée des ports français. Cette tournée a été marquante et a fait l'objet de nombreuse peintures et gravures. À cette époque Le gray est photographe officiel du Second Empire (cf biographie). Il a du coup accès a ce site militaire, cette batterie Royale dont c'est la seule représentation (vue sous cet angle) que je connaisse. On y retrouve son style très descriptif, hérité de la mission héliographique et on peut donc observer un état des lieux de "l'art militaire" (architecture et artillerie). Le gray n'est pas seulement un pionnier de la photographie (pensée comme un art à part-entière) il est aussi un des premiers à mettre son travail au service du recensement des monuments historiques … un encyclopédiste à sa manière. English: The Recouvrance cape in Brest with the upper Royal Artillery Battery and below it the horseshoe-shaped battery. Scan of a albumen print from a 315 x 405 mm collodion glass negative. The Royal Battery is visible on this map: File:Carte de Brest - ca 1700 - Bibliothèque Nationale de France - Btv1b8439976x.jpg
This is one of the photos in a series made by Gustave Le Gray during a visit by Napoleon III to Brest when he toured French ports. The tour was notable and has been the subject of many paintings and engravings. At the time, Le Gray was an official photographer for the Second French Empire (see his biography). He had an impromptu access to this military site, the Royal Battery, and it is probably the only image from this angle. It is made in a very descriptive style, originating from the heliographic vocation and thus it gives us an inventory of places connected with the "art of war" (architecture and artillery). Le Gray was not only a photography pioneer (in the sense of it as a separate art), he was also one of the first photographers who through his work contributed to document and gather information about historic monuments, an encyclopedian in his own way. Svenska: Recouvranceudden i Brest med det övre Kungliga Artilleribatteriet och nedanför det hästskoformade batteriet. Skannat från ett albuminfotografi, gjort från ett 315 x 405 mm glasnegativ där kollodiumprocessen använts. Det Kungliga Batteriet syns på den här kartan: File:Carte de Brest - ca 1700 - Bibliothèque Nationale de France - Btv1b8439976x.jpg
Detta är ett av fotona i en serie som Gustave Le Gray gjorde under Napoleon IIIs besök i Brest när han åkte runt till Frankrikes hamnar. Besöken i hamnarna var uppmärksammade och har återgivits i många målningar och gravyrer. Vid den tiden var Le Gray officiell fotograf för det Andra franska kejsardömet (se hans boigrafi). Han fick oväntat tillträde till denna militäranläggning, och det är antagligen den enda avbildning från den här vinkeln som existerar. Den är gjord i en mycket illustrativ stil som har sitt ursprung i heliografernas gärning och ger oss en ingående förteckning av platser som förknippas med "krigskonsten" (arkitektur och artilleri). Le Gray var inte bara en pionjär inom fotografin (i dess avseende som självständig konstart), han var även en av de första fotograferna som genom sitt arbete bidrog till dokumentation och insamlandet av fakta gällande historiska monument, på sitt sätt en slags "encyklopedian". |
