L’éclat de l’œil Perception et représentation dans La Description de la fameuse fontaine de Vaucluse en douze sonnets de Georges de Scudéry

Even if the first sense overrides the second, the series of sonnets that Scudéry dedicates to the fountain of Vaucluse closely associates vision and hearing. The meticulous detail with which the poet, a veritable painter, crafts this artistic landscape, the representation of color, the attention paid to the effects of depth and verticality, taken together found an aesthetics which thus reveals both its thematic and its poetic coherence.
