WRITTEN IN FRENCH

Symbolic language is by definition coded. This peacock or this owl, this shell or this crescent moon allow us to identify a goddess. This young man who sleeps has not only succumbed to sleep: he is Sleep. Next to the Christ child, the lamb, the bunch of grapes or the carnation are emblems of his Passion. The symbols are provided with both an immediate meaning (scales, mirror) and a symbolic meaning (justice, vanity). Beyond their real appearance, they refer to myths, to various illustrious adventures, human or divine, to ideas or to constructions of the mind.

This book provides the appropriate tools to decode the symbols in the paintings, to grasp their richness and the stakes, without ever losing sight of the poetry of this universe where we are shown the wings of Time and the trumpet of Fame.
