HALKA ÖNDERLİK EDEN ÖZGÜRLÜK: ALEGORİ, EDEBİYAT VE GERÇEKLİK

Yıl 2018, Sayı: 9, 121 - 142, 12.12.2018

Öz

Fransız Romantik sanatçı Eugéne Delacroix'nın (1798-1863) Halka Önderlik Eden Özgürlük adlı yapıtı alegori ve gerçekliğin bir arada sunulduğu bir resimdir. Aynı zamanda edebiyat ile de bağlantılı bir yapıttır. Bu çalışmada resimdeki figürler tek tek ele alınarak alegori, gerçeklik ve edebiyat ile bağlantıları saptanmaya çalışılmıştır. Resim, 1830 yılında gerçekleşen Temmuz Devrimi'nin Paris'te Hotel de Ville çevresinde en şiddetli çatışmaların yaşandığı günü gösterir. Ancak bu resimden söz eden tüm kaynaklar bu resmin bir alegori olduğunu belirtirler. Bunun nedeni elinde özgür Fransa'nın bayrağı ile ilerleyen Özgürlük figürüdür.  Bu figürde 1789 devriminin özgürlük tanrıçası, Barbieri'nin La Curée adlı şiirindeki güçlü kadın imgesi, devrimci Anne-Charlotte hepsi bir aradadır. Resimdeki burjuva sınıfını temsil eden silindir şapkalı figürün kimliği için sanatçının kendisi ya da bir yazar ve politikacı olan Etienne Arago gibi adlar önerilmişse de  bu figür aslında Barbieri'nin şiirinde belirttiği gibi çatışmalar sırasında korkuyla saklanan burjuva sınıfını değil, çalışan kesimi alegorize etmektedir. Resimdeki sokak çocuğu figürü de 1830 devrimine gerçekten katılan çocukları temsil ettiği gibi, edebiyata da esin kaynağı olmuş, Victor Hugo (18021885)  onu Sefiller romanında Gavroche adıyla ölümsüzleştirmiştir.

LIBERTY LEADING THE PEOPLE: ALLEGORY, LITERATURE AND REALITY

Yıl 2018, Sayı: 9, 121 - 142, 12.12.2018

Öz

Liberty Leading the People of French Romantic artist Eugéne Delacroix (1798-1863) presents allegory and reality together. It is also related to literature. In this study, the figures in the painting were examined one by one to try to find links with allegory, reality and literature. This painting shows the day of the July Revolution of 1830, when the most violent conflict took place in Paris around the Hotel de Ville. However all the sources referring to this painting indicate that this image is an allegory. The reason for that is the figure of Liberty leading with the flag of France. In this figure, the goddess of Liberty of the 1789 revolution, the powerful female image of Barbieri's poem La Curée and  the revolutionary Anne-Charlotte are all together. Although different identities -like the artist himself or Etienne Arago,a writer and politician-, were suggested for the figure with a top hat representing the bourgeois class in the painting, this figure allegorizes working class, not the bourgeois class hiding in fear during the conflicts, as in Barbieri's poem. Also, the figure of the street child in the painting represents the children who have really participated in the 1830 revolution and even became a source of inspiration for literary work. Victor Hugo (1802-1885) immortalized him in the novel of Les Miserables in the name of Gavroche.
