Dragon, ecstasy and royalty · Les Saintes Marguerite
Raphael, Titian, Lanfranco and Largillière distinguish Marguerite of Antioch, Marguerite of Cortona and Marguerite of Scotland.
The name of Saint Margaret brings together several figures in Western painting. The most famous is Margaret of Antioch, virgin and legendary martyr. Thrown into prison, she confronts a demon in the form of a dragon which engulfs her; thanks to the cross, she emerges unscathed. Dragon, cross and palm therefore become his major attributes. Raphael and Titian transform this victory into dynamic compositions where the young woman dominates the creature. The collection includes also Marguerite de Cortona, Franciscan penitent of the 13th century, generally shown in ecstasy, near a crucifix or accompanied by a dog linked to the story of her conversion. Lanfranco gives his mystical experience a breadth baroque. Margaret of Scotland, queen of the 11th century, is best recognized by the crown, the book and the signs of royal charity; Largillière gives it the dignity of a court portrait. Comparing these works allows us not to confuse the martyrdom of the dragon, the visionary penitent and the sovereign. The "Saint Marguerite" selection notably compares Saint Marguerite - Raphaël Sanzio and Saint Marguerite and the Dragon - Titian. His reading favors movement.
One first name, three iconographies: the dragon designates Antioch, ecstasy leads to Cortona and the crown recalls the Queen of Scots.
