The four Turkish boudoirs of the count d’Artois: oriental fashion before the French revolution
The subject of analysis of this research was the evolution of the Turkery style as one of the varieties of Oriental style. The main source of study was the artistic culture of France, its painting, literature, music, theatre, decorative and applied arts in the period of the so-called “Great Styles” - the styles of Louis XIV, Louis XV and Louis XVI. It traces the evolution of the style from its beginnings to the French Revolution, which changed both the history of France and the history of its artistic culture. The final stage of Turkery style formation considered in more detail on the example of four Turkish boudoirs that belonged to Count d’Artois, the younger brother of Louis XVI. This problem has not previously come to the attention of domestic Turkery researchers. The boudoir as a type of cabinet was at the height of popularity in the Louis XVI era, where it came with the fashion for a private rather than public lifestyle. The boudoirs d’Artois, created in different years in the Palace of Versailles and the Palace du Temple have not survived, but some items of their decoration have survived: wall paintings, draperies, furniture, lighting fixtures, bronze. Currently it is in the collection of the Louvre, the Palace of Versailles, and the Museum of Decorative Arts in Paris. We traced the fates of some items before and after the French Revolution. We also noted that the post-revolutionary fates of the first Turkish boudoirs d’ Artois and his sister-in-law, Queen Marie Antoinette of France, created at the same time, have similar features. We traced the evolution of the fashion for Turkish boudoirs, which went beyond the royal palaces before the revolution. The result of the research: Turkish boudoirs were a vivid part of the Turkery style and, more broadly, of the Oriental style. The fashion for everything conven-tional-Turkish created a peculiar aesthetics, which was not intended to actually reflect Eastern domestic life, but conveyed a romantic idea of the imaginary and idealized East in the Europeans eyes. The author declares no conflicts of interests.
