Marie Léonie de Bazelaire de Ruppierre (May 19, 1857– July 23, 1926) was a French painter and writer. In addition to writing several travel books, she was the founder and director of La Chevauchée, a bimonthly literary review for women that published between 1900 and 1903. [2] [3]
Léonie de Bazelaire was the daughter of Marie-Charles Sigisbert de Bazelaire de Saulcy (1812-1867) and Marie Anne Victoire Louise Florentin (1814-1903). [4] [5] [6]
She had seven brothers and sisters, [7] She grew up in Saulcy-sur-Meurthe and then studied at Saint-Dié, before her father was named a justice of the peace in Ligny-en-Barrois.
Her uncle, Édouard de Bazelaire (1819-1853) was a writer, [8] a member of the Académie de Stanislas, [9] a chevalier of the order of Saint-Grégoire-le-Grand, [10] and author of Promenades dans les Vosges (1838). [11]
In April 1888, she went by boat to Palestine with a group of pilgrims. [12] After a stop in Italy where she visited Rome, and one in Crète, the pilgrim's boat dropped anchor in Haifa. Accompanied by her brother Maurice (1840-1909) and her sister Isabelle (1847-1889), they departed on horseback, for a month to tour the country. During this time she wrote Chevauchée en Palestine (1889). [13] After the trip, she published Mois du Sacré-Cœur de Terre Sainte (1890). [14]
Two years later, in 1890, she travelled by rail in Haute-Bavière, to help with the Oberammergau Passion Play, which has taken place since 1634 and which, every two years, involves a large part of the population. She described the event in great detail in her work Le drame d’Oberammergau (1891). [15]
She travelled as well to Egypt, which resulted in the publication of Jérusalem, cinq ans après. Une fuite en Égypte (1893). [16] In Khartoum, in 1907, she met the writer Pierre Loti at the Luxor Temple. [17] In 1912, she published Croquis d'Égypte et de Nubie, which was reviewed in Les Annales politiques et littéraires [18]
In addition to her travel writing, she published a biographical essay on Jeanne d’Arc titled Figure Exquise (1895), [19] [20] and three theatre pieces: L’idée de Colette (1897), Os de Poulet (1897) et Trèfle à quatre feuilles.
She studied painting and drawing with Édouard de Mirbeck in Saint-Dié. [21] She was later the student of painters Pierre-Eugène Grandsire, Carolus-Duran and Jean-Jacques Henner. [22]
She painted portraits and showed regularly in the areas of Épinal, Remiremont, Saint-Dié and Cannes. [23] In May 1882, she presented her work Sous-bois dans les Vosges at the Grand Palais des Champs-Elysées, Paris. [24]
She died in Cannet, having served during the First World War as a nurse, for which she received the croix de guerre. [26] She was a Chevalier de la Légion d'honneur. [27] She was buried in Saint-Dié, July 29, 1926.
