Le monument à Étienne-Jules Marey est un monument élevé par souscription publique internationale en hommage à Étienne-Jules Marey, inventeur notamment de la chronophotographie et précurseur du cinéma.
Localisation
[modifier | modifier le code]Le monument est situé actuellement place Marey à Beaune, en Côte-d'Or en France.
Description
[modifier | modifier le code]Au début du XXe siècle, le principal du collège Monge, Auguste Dubois, crée un comité en 1908 pour lancer une initiative d’une souscription publique internationale pour la création d’une statue à Étienne-Jules Marey décédé quatre ans plus tôt[1].

Achevé en 1911, le monument est inauguré le 31 août 1913[2] en présence du ministre des Finances Charles Dumont[3], du maire de Beaune, Jacques Vincent et du docteur Edmond Bouley[4], devant les caméras des actualités hebdomadaires Gaumont[5].
Le monument est inscrit au titre des monuments historiques par arrêté du [6] et est classé par arrêté du , qui se substitue au précédent arrêt[7].

Etienne-Jules Marey - When the study of motion becomes an experimental science
When one first looks at Etienne-Jules Marey’s (1830-1904) work, one is struck by the beauty of the images, some of which have a mystery halo about them. Next, one marvels at the diversity of the subjects treated, despite the fact that they all deal with motion: the motion of inanimate bodies, solids or fluids, but, most of all, the motion of humans and many animal species. If one looks even deeper, one is struck by the technical innovation. However, it would be restrictive to see E-J Marey as simply an inventor, albeit one of great talent. Indeed, E-J Marey and his collaborators invented various techniques and applied a scientific method for the experimental study of motion as part of an ambitious scientific project. This method, based on the laws of mechanics, that is, biomechanics, was raised to the level of a science by Etienne-Jules Marey, who applied it to the movement of humans and animals.
The invention of biomechanical techniques
E-J Marey considered himself a "medical engineer", or an "engineer of life". This name is particularly apt if one considers the kinetic and dynamic techniques he designed, developed and co
