Why did Musset choose Venice at the end of the sixteenth century as the setting for this novella? Why make an unknown, the son of a famous painter, the hero of a love story? Why give him a lover who was a supposed descendant of an illustrious Venetian family, the Lorédans? How are historical references combined with biographical data? This article aims to lay bare the mysteries of artistic creation in that pure fantasy that is Le Fils du Titien.
