The night comes out as a set of communication between man and nature, but the unstable connections of Correspondances deform what Jankélévitch calls “the wedding of the conscience and the nature”. It sometimes conjugates with the abyss in its positive and negative value; it accompanies the pain and the nightmare. Baudelaire’s nocturnes are urban and are opposed to landscapes by moonlight. In Le Peintre de la vie moderne the night is framed in the big city and in the artistic creation.
