Conférence Lundi 11 janvier 2016 :
Habiter un hôtel particulier à Paris au XVIIe siècle.
Intervenant : Nicolas Courtin, Docteur en histoire de l’art, chargé de mission auprès de la
Commission du Vieux Paris, spécialiste de l’architecture et des arts décoratifs du XVIIe siècle en
Île-de-France, enseignant l’histoire des arts décoratifs français et l’histoire urbaine et architecturale
de l’époque moderne (à lire : Paris Grand siècle - Parigramme, 2008 et L’Art d’habiter à Paris au
XVIIe siècle -Faton, 2011)
L’hôtel particulier connait à Paris au XVIIe siècle des modifications profondes qui aboutissent à la
mise au point de l’archétype de la grande demeure urbaine française. Parallèlement aux évolutions
purement architecturales
–introduction de l’alcôve, généralisation de l’antichambre, création des pièces « à l’italienne »...
-les arts décoratifs contemporains connaissent aussi une profonde métamorphose
–apparition de l’ébénisterie, renaissance des arts textiles et somptuaires, bénéficiant du renouveau
des structures de l’artisanat de luxe insufflé par Henri IV et Sully.
L’analyse croisée des archives et des plans d’origine permet de reconsidérer les distributions de ces
grandes maisons parisiennes, de préciser la fonction et les usages des espaces et de s’interroger sur
la manière d’habiter une œuvre architecturale. En associant les plans de l’état d’origine des hôtels et
les meubles similaires à ceux cités dans les inventaires, nous chercherons à mieux établir le
caractère de ces demeures tout en établissant les usages invariants de l’art d’habiter à Paris au
XVIIe siècle.

Where: Ashmolean Museum of Art and Archeology, University of Oxford
Overview: A recently loaned masterpiece by Nicolas Poussin, one of the most celebrated artists of the 17th century, is on display in our Baroque Art gallery.
In a scene from early Christian times, a dying man is anointed with oil by a priest, surrounded by members of his family and household. Representing the sacrament of Extreme Unction, the painting belongs to an innovative series of the Seven Sacraments commissioned in the late 1630s by Cassiano dal Pozzo.
Extreme Unction was acquired by the Fitzwilliam Museum in 2012 through HM Government’s Acceptance in Lieu scheme, with support from the Heritage Lottery Fund, the Art Fund and numerous charities and public donations.
