Summary
DescriptionParis - Jardin des plantes - AL Jussieu.jpg |
English: This statue of French botanist Antoine Laurent de Jussieu (1748-1836) had been ordered to sculptor Jean-François Legendre-Héral in the early 1840s by the French Ministry of the Interior in order to adorn the galerie de Minéralogie et de Géologie, a building of the French National Museum of Natural History, at the Jardin des plantes in Paris. At the time, when the statue was being ordered, the building had been recently inaugurated (in 1837) and was intended to receive the Museum of Natural History library, and also the botany, mineralogy and geology collections. Completed in 1842, this Legendre-Héral's statue was first exhibited at the Salon of the same year, at the Louvre, and then was moved to the entrance of the (at the time) Gallery of Botany, under the galerie de Minéralogie et de Géologie left pediment. The statue remained on site (shown here photographed in 2009) until 2013 when it was moved to its current location, at the entrance of the nowadays Gallery of Botany (inaugurated 1935). In the present day, visitors enter the Gallery of Botany through the pathway left between this Jussieu's statue and another statue which depicts botanist Michel Adanson (1727-1806).
Français : Cette statue du botaniste français Antoine-Laurent de Jussieu (1748-1836) est une commande que le Ministère français de l'Intérieur avait adressé à l'intention du sculpteur Jean-François Legendre-Héral au début des années 1840 dans le but d'orner la galerie de Minéralogie et de Géologie, un bâtiment appartenant au Muséum national d'histoire naturelle et situé au Jardin des plantes, à Paris. À l'époque de la commande de la statue, le bâtiment venait d'être inauguré (en 1837) et était destiné à recevoir la bibliothèque du Muséum ainsi que les collections du Muséum portant sur la botanique, la minéralogie et la géologie. Terminée en 1842, la statue fut d'abord exposée au Salon de peinture et de sculpture de la même année, au Louvre, et ensuite, toujours dans la même année, placée à l'entrée de la galerie de Botanique de l'époque, dans l'aile gauche de la galerie de Minéralogie et de Géologie. Cette photographie de 2009 montre la statue telle qu'elle était à ce même emplacement depuis 1842. En 2013 elle a été déplacée à l'entrée de l'actuelle galerie de Botanique, elle inaugurée en 1935. De nos jours, les visiteurs pénètrent à l'intérieur de l'actuelle galerie de Botanique du Muséum national d'histoire naturelle en passant entre les deux statues de deux célèbres botanistes français : cette même statue représentant Antoine-Laurent de Jussieu et une autre statue représentant Michel Adanson (1727-1806). |
