La vie d’Alexandre Calame (Vevey 1810 – Menton 1864) pr\u00e9sente tous les
\ningr\u00e9dients de l’histoire \u00e0 succ\u00e8s caract\u00e9ristique de son si\u00e8cle: d’une
\nenfance et d’une adolescence plong\u00e9es dans l’extr\u00eame pauvret\u00e9 \u00e0 une carri\u00e8re
\nartistique couronn\u00e9e par la gloire internationale. Une \u00e9mancipation \u00e9conomique
\naccompagn\u00e9e, comme il se doit, par l’amour, puisque le h\u00e9ros de cette histoire
\nfut aussi un mari et un p\u00e8re combl\u00e9. Sa vie, en m\u00eame temps, fut travers\u00e9e par
\nquelques trag\u00e9dies, petites et grandes: il naquit avec une malformation \u00e0 une
\njambe qui le fit toujours boiter; encore enfant, il perdit un oeil suite \u00e0 un
\naccident; son p\u00e8re, modeste marbrier, le laissa orphelin avec toutes les
\ndettes contract\u00e9es pendant la maladie qui le conduisit \u00e0 la mort ; trois de
\nses enfants moururent en bas \u00e2ge; lui-m\u00eame eut toujours une sant\u00e9
\nparticuli\u00e8rement fragile. Autant d’\u00e9l\u00e9ments que les biographes dos\u00e8rent
\nsavamment pour faire de Calame non seulement le chef de file de la peinture
\nsuisse de paysage, mais aussi un mod\u00e8le de foi, d’abn\u00e9gation et de courage
\nface \u00e0 l’adversit\u00e9.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
