Épreuve Unique En Bronze De De Pierre-Jules Mêne (1810-1879), « Mazagran »
About the Item
Rarissime bronze de Pierre-Jules Mêne (1810-1879) représentant un sujet allégorique sur la défense de Mazagran, un exemple actuellement identifié. Sculpture en bas relief, transposition animalière symbolique qui évoque la bataille de Mazagran, qui eut lieu en 1840 dans l’ouest algérien. Mazagran était un petit hameau fortifié non loin de Mostaganem, où furent assiégés cent vingt trois chasseurs de l’armée française, les zéphyrs, qui durant trois jours et trois nuits, les 3,4 et 5 février 1840, repoussèrent les assauts de quinze mille homme issus de plus cent vingt tribus arabes placées sous les ordres d’Abd el-Kader. L’iconographie de ce bas relief représente la France avec le coq, symbole de courage et de bravoure, à ses côtés, le drapeau qui protégeait les murs de Mazagran. Les loups et les félins dans la partie basse représentent les assaillants.
Première référence, le bronze est refusé au Salon de 1841 et apparaît dans les archives comme refusée. La seconde référence est celle du catalogue de 1846 dans lequel est mentionnée sans indication de dimensions ni de prix. Il est mentionné dans le catalogue raisonné de Pierre Jules Mêne page 206, « Le bronze refusé au salon n’est pas identifié et a disparu, et nous nous interrogeons sur l’édition de ce bas-relief, car aucun tirage ne nous a été signalé »
