JEAN-BAPTISTE PATER - Huile sur toile
Est: €160,000 - €200,000
JEAN-BAPTISTE PATER (VALENCIENNES, 1695 – PARIS, 1736) Le Concert champêtre et La Cueillette des roses Vers 1725 Huiles sur toile (une paire) 52 x 65,4 cm. Certificat René Millet Expertise Ces deux tableaux aux dimensions identiques et aux compositions qui se répondent ont été conçus comme une paire. Ils s’offrent à première vue de façon parfaitement symétrique. Dans l’ombrage d’un bouquet d’arbres, un même nombre de personnages, sept, s’articulent autour d’un couple principal, assis au centre de la composition. Inversement brossé dans chaque toile, le décor où évoluent nos personnages montre un paysage champêtre avec un village à l’horizon puis, plus près de nous, décentré, ce bouquet d’arbres légèrement en surplomb qui offre une assise à ces promeneurs élégants. En revanche, le tout premier plan, un chemin de terre, est laissé vacant avec les quelques accessoires qui donneront leur titre au tableau : une partition ici, une corbeille de fleurs là. Le spectateur, mis ainsi à distance, est sitôt renseigné sur le sujet de chaque scène représentée. Pour autant, il s’agit ici, nonobstant les titres, de dépeindre des scènes galantes entre des couples d’aristocrates partis s’égayer dans la campagne. Et nos deux pendants semblent dès lors dialoguer. Aux invariants que sont les deux couples de chaque scène, s’ajoutent des personnages secondaires, majoritairement des enfants, qui évoluent autour des protagonistes avec plus ou moins de complicité ou d’indifférence. Ainsi, cette fillette tantôt dans les bras de son ainée, tantôt s’aventurant à cueillir des fleurs de l’autre côté du chemin. Les couples galants se répondent, quant à eux, d’un tableau à l’autre avec subtilité. Leurs tenues peu adaptées aux circonstances et aux lieux renforcent cette impression d’insouciance voire d’incongruité. La femme somptueusement vêtue d’une robe à la française en taffetas de soie dans le Concert champêtre trouve sa réplique, légèrement plus agreste, dans la Cueillette des roses avec un tablier qui lui ceint la taille. Objets de tous les désirs, elles attirent le regard dans leurs parures aux teintes irisées roses et blanches, étincelantes. Leurs compagnons, empressés à leurs côtés, leur offrent un contrepoint avantageux dans leur costume rouge de comédiens. L’un joue de la guitare quand l’autre se contente de conter fleurette... Nous en sommes aux préliminaires. Les deux autres couples, en retrait, sont, eux, déjà enlacés. L’un nous tournant le dos, l’autre nous faisant face, ils nous dévoilent l’étape à venir dans cette relation amoureuse. Le peintre joue ici avec leurs attitudes en miroir comme s’il s’agissait du même couple. Les jupes de taffetas vert émeraude des jeunes femmes sont identiques ainsi que les vestes brunes de leur amant, renforçant encore un peu plus l’illusion d’une même scène qui se jouerait d’un tableau à l’autre. Cette atmosphère de marivaudage bucolique, se déroule sous les auspices de petits amours qui surplombent les personnages. Figurés sous forme de sculptures qui peupleraient un parc, ces putti révèlent, s’il en était encore besoin, le véritable sujet de ces tableaux. Motifs largement répandus de cette peinture de genre, leur présence en pleine campagne, loin d’être anecdotique revêt des allures allégoriques, que l’on retrouve notamment chez son contemporain Lancret.

JEAN-BAPTISTE PATER - Huile sur panneau
Est: €50,000 - €63,000
JEAN-BAPTISTE PATER (VALENCIENNES, 1695 – PARIS, 1736) Scène galante dans un parc Vers 1725 Huile sur panneau 47 x 42 cm. Certificat Eric Turquin Expertise. Cette assemblée d’aristocrates qui devisent en plein air pourrait aussi bien être dans un salon tant leurs poses délicates voire affectées semblent peu en prise avec la nature environnante. Assis sur un mobilier de fortune, ils se livrent au plaisir de la conversation et de la musique. L’homme de gauche, la main crânement posée sur sa canne, semble donner le ton puisque toutes les dames se retournent dans sa direction. Il tourne son buste vers sa voisine, qui lui répond dans une pose en miroir. Elle semble refuser ses avances. Autour d’elle, on observe, on écoute, tout en jouant, qui de la flûte qui de la vielle. Un enfant égaré dans ce monde d’adultes se tient au côté de la dame convoitée. Cette femme est le point de mire de la scène. La lumière semble émaner de sa somptueuse robe de soie blanche et rose aux reflets chatoyants. Autour d’elle, les couleurs des autres vêtements sont plus atones, pour la mettre en valeur. A ses pieds, sa compagne lui fait écho dans une robe bigarrée. Nous sommes à l’orée d’un bois. A gauche, une percée permet à l’œil de découvrir un paysage champêtre. Sous les frondaisons à droite, un groupe sculpté met en scène des putti langoureux offrant la réplique aux couples en contrebas et suggérant les ébats à venir. Cette scène nous transporte dans la société aristocratique et libertine de la Régence où les décors bucoliques servent d’écrin à des conversations galantes. La palette de couleurs suaves aux nuances subtiles joue avec les reflets lumineux. Le peintre excelle ici à rendre le miroitement des étoffes.

JEAN-BAPTISTE PATER - Huile sur toile
Est: €36,000 - €45,000
JEAN-BAPTISTE PATER (VALENCIENNES, 1695 – PARIS, 1736) Une Dame dans sa chambre à coucher Huile sur toile 29 x 35.4 cm Provenance Dickinson, Dealers in Fine Art, London & New York. Cette jeune femme assise au bord de son lit défait semble bien pensive… L’assistance de sa servante lui tendant un bassin pour sa toilette ne la tire pas de sa songerie. A moitié dévêtue, la chemise décolletée découvrant son épaule quand sa jupe relevée dévoile ces jambes nues, la dame tarde à remettre de l’ordre dans sa toilette songeant, avec un sourire, à quelque ébat amoureux passé. Le léger désordre de la chambre semble témoigner, en effet, du passage d’un amant : le linge jeté sur la banquette à droite, les souliers dispersés près du lit et enfin ces quelques fleurs au sol ? échappées d’un bouquet sur la gauche… La symbolique érotique de ces roses fraichement « cueillies » est une constante de la peinture galante de la Régence. Tout nous parle ici d’amour, à commencer par cette alcôve aux lourds rideaux cramoisis, d’où surgit cette banquette de repos servant de lit improvisé où un traversin proéminent invite à se coucher. Mais il est un autre couple, d’animaux domestiques cette fois, qui fait écho à la scène passée. Une levrette, au profil galbé, regarde sans aménité un chat qui la surplombe du haut du parapet. Ce dernier, au dos rond et à la queue relevée, semble plus agressif, prêt à l’affrontement. Mise en abyme des relations amoureuses, le duo animalier évoque non sans malice les joutes galantes si prisées dans la peinture du du siècle des lumières. Jean-Baptiste Pater (1695-1736) est un peintre rococo français. Formé auprès d’Antoine Wat- teau, il restera toute sa carrière sous son influence, tant pour le style que pour le choix de ses sujets. En 1725, il est en effet reçu à l’Académie comme peintre de fêtes galantes, genre spéciale- ment conçu pour son maitre, après la mort duquel il terminera d’ailleurs certaines commandes. C’est à cette période que sont réalisés ces pendants, Le Concert champêtre et La Cueillette des roses. L’influence de Watteau est manifeste dans la composition, où ces couples semblent tout juste échappés de son Pèlerinage à l’ile de Cythère, conservé au Louvre : la même scansion du mouvement, comme autant d’instants découpés d’une même histoire. Pater développe néan- moins sa propre palette de couleurs, plus soutenue. Aux roses perlés et gris argentés s’ajoutent des teintes bleues et vertes presque acidulées. Les teintes du paysage sont aussi plus pastel, moins irisées que chez son ainé. La scène fait enfin clairement référence au théâtre italien alors très en vogue chez les peintres. Le Grand siècle et sa peinture sérieuse a fait place à des thèmes plus libertins avec la Régence. La société, libérée du carcan de la cour, s’adonne à des jeux dont les peintres nous font l’écho au point de créer ce nouveau genre des « fêtes galantes », adaptant la scène de genre aux mœurs licencieuses de l’aristocratie. Cet art de la galanterie qui se répand dans l’Europe du siècle des Lumières, trouve en Pater un brillant émissaire dont l’un des princi- paux clients est l’empereur Frédéric II de Prusse. Il décline à l’envi dans son œuvre, des couples occupés à se séduire offrant ainsi un miroir à la société qui les lui commande. La femme cour- tisée y occupe toujours le centre autour duquel gravitent les soupirants. Pater, toujours libertin mais jamais lubrique nous offre un hymne au jeu atemporel de la séduction.

Around 1709-1711, Antoine Watteau, being back in Valenciennes, his father entrusted him to the master of whom he painted a portrait. Having moved to Paris, he worked with the latter, before Watteau's difficult character led them to separate in 1713.He returns to Valenciennes, and tries to make a career there, but meets the opposition of the corporation of Saint-Luc of the city which wants to prevent him from doing so because he is not one of its members. He therefore resumed his journey to the capital when, in 1720, seized with remorse at the very end of his life, Watteau asked him to be with him, during the last month he had left to live, in order to give him his last advice.

JEAN-BAPTISTE PATER - Huiles sur toile (une paire)
Est: CHF250,000 - CHF300,000
JEAN-BAPTISTE PATER , VALENCIENNES, 1695 - PARIS, 1736 Le Concert champêtre et La Cueillette des roses Oil on canvas (a pair) 52 x 65.4 cm These two paintings with identical dimensions and responding compositions were conceived as a pair. At first glance, they appear to be perfectly symmetrical. In the shade of a clump of trees, the same number of characters, seven, are centred around a main couple sitting in the centre of the composition. Conversely, in each canvas, the setting in which our characters move shows a rural landscape with a village on the horizon and, closer to us, off-centre, this slightly overhanging clump of trees that offers a seat to these elegant walkers. On the other hand, the very first plane, a dirt road, is left vacant with the few accessories that will give the painting its title: a sheet of music here, a basket of flowers there. The viewer, placed at a distance, is immediately informed about the subject of each scene represented. However, notwithstanding the titles, the aim here is to depict gallant scenes between couples of aristocrats who have gone to enjoy the countryside. And our two counterparts seem to be in dialogue. In addition to the two couples in each scene, there are secondary characters, mostly children, who move around the protagonists with varying degrees of complicity or indifference. Thus, this little girl sometimes in the arms of her elder, sometimes venturing to pick flowers on the other side of the road. The gallant couples answer each other from one painting to the next with subtlety. Their outfits, which are ill-suited to the circumstances and the place, reinforce this impression of carelessness and even incongruity. The woman sumptuously dressed in a French silk taffeta gown in the Country Concert has a slightly more rural counterpart in the Rose Picking with an apron around her waist. Objects of all desires, they attract the eye in their iridescent pink and white sparkling finery. Their companions, eagerly at their side, offer them an advantageous counterpoint in their red actors' costumes. One plays the guitar while the other is content to tell a story... We are in the preliminary stages. The other two couples, in the background, are already embracing. One with his back to us, the other facing us, they are revealing the next stage in their lovemaking. The painter plays with their mirror-like attitudes as if they were the same couple. The emerald green taffeta skirts of the young women are identical, as are the brown jackets of their lover, further reinforcing the illusion of the same scene being played out from one painting to the next. This atmosphere of bucolic marivaudage unfolds under the auspices of little lovers who overhang the characters. Depicted in the form of sculptures that would populate a park, these putti reveal, if it were still necessary, the true subject of these paintings. Their presence in the countryside, far from being anecdotal, takes on allegorical overtones, as seen in the work of his contemporary Lancret. Jean-Baptiste Pater (1695-1736) was a French rococo painter. Trained under Antoine Watteau, he remained under his influence throughout his career, both in style and in his choice of subjects. In 1725, he was admitted to the Académie as a painter of fêtes galantes, a genre specially designed for his master, after whose death he completed some commissions. It was during this period that his counterparts, Le Concert champêtre and La Cueillette des roses, were painted. Watteau's influence is evident in the composition, where these couples seem to have just escaped from his Pèlerinage à l'ile de Cythère, preserved in the Louvre: the same scansion of movement, like so many moments cut from the same story. Pater nevertheless developed his own, more sustained colour palette. In addition to pearl pinks and silvery greys, there are almost acidic blue and green tones. The colours of the landscape are also more pastel, less iridescent than those of his predecessor. Finally, the scene makes clear reference to the Italian theatre, which was very popular with painters at the time. The Grand siècle and its serious painting gave way to more libertine themes with the Regency. Society, freed from the shackles of the court, indulged in games that painters echoed to the point of creating the new genre of 'fêtes galantes', adapting the genre scene to the licentious mores of the aristocracy. This art of gallantry, which spread throughout Europe during the Enlightenment, found a brilliant emissary in Pater, one of whose main clients was Emperor Frederick II of Prussia. In his work, he repeatedly depicts couples in the act of seduction, thus offering a mirror to the society that commissions them. The woman being courted is always at the centre of his work, around which the suitors gravitate. Pater, always libertine but never lecherous, offers us a hymn to the timeless game of seduction.

JEAN-BAPTISTE PATER - Huile sur panneau
Est: CHF75,000 - CHF100,000
JEAN-BAPTISTE PATER , VALENCIENNES, 1695 - PARIS, 1736 Galantine scene in a park Oil on panel 47 x 42 cm This assembly of aristocrats conversing in the open air could just as well be in a drawing room, as their delicate, even affected poses seem to have little connection with the surrounding nature. Seated on makeshift furniture, they indulge in conversation and music. The man on the left, with his hand proudly resting on his cane, seems to set the tone as all the ladies turn in his direction. He turns his chest towards his neighbour, who responds in a mirror-like pose. She seems to refuse his advances. All around her, people are watching and listening, while playing the flute or the hurdy-gurdy. A child lost in this world of adults stands beside the coveted lady. This woman is the focus of the scene. The light seems to emanate from her sumptuous white and pink silk dress with its shimmering reflections. Around her, the colours of the other clothes are more subdued, to highlight her. At her feet, her companion echoes her in a colourful dress. We are on the edge of a wood. On the left, a breakthrough allows the eye to discover a rural landscape. Under the foliage on the right, a sculpted group of languid putti offer a reply to the couples below, suggesting the lovemaking to come. This scene transports us to the aristocratic and libertine society of the Regency, where bucolic settings serve as a backdrop for gallant conversations. The palette of soft colours with subtle nuances plays with the light reflections. The painter excels here in rendering the shimmering of fabrics.

JEAN-BAPTISTE PATER - Huile sur toile
Est: CHF65,000 - CHF75,000
JEAN-BAPTISTE PATER , VALENCIENNES, 1695 - PARIS, 1736 A Lady in her Bedroom Oil on canvas 29 x 35.4 cm This young woman seated at the edge of her unmade bed seems quite pensive... The assistance of her maid holding a basin for her toilet does not rouse her from her musings. Half-dressed, her low-cut shirt revealing her shoulder when her skirt is raised to reveal her bare legs, the lady is slow to put her toilet in order, thinking, with a smile, of some past love affair. The slight disorder of the room seems to testify, indeed, to the passage of a lover: the linen thrown on the bench on the right, the shoes scattered near the bed and finally these few flowers on the floor? escaped from a bouquet on the left... The erotic symbolism of these freshly 'picked' roses is a constant in Regency galant painting. Everything here speaks to us of love, starting with this alcove with its heavy crimson curtains, from which emerges this resting bench serving as an improvised bed where a prominent bolster invites you to lie down. But there is another couple, this time of domestic animals, which echoes the past scene. A doggy, with a curved profile, looks unkindly at a cat which is overlooking her from the top of the parapet. The latter, with its rounded back and raised tail, seems more aggressive, ready for a confrontation. A mise en abyme of romantic relationships, the animal duo evokes, not without malice, the gallant jousts so prized in the painting of the Enlightenment.
