L’ expérience sensorielle dans les expositions d’art au XVIIIe siècle

The Sensory Experience in 18th Century Art Exhibitions

In the 18th century, the art exhibitions organized at the Louvre in Paris by the Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture created an unprecedented socio-cultural event, which quickly aroused curiosity and envy in the French provinces and other nations. A visit to the Salon du Louvre or any other art exhibition, where the desire to be entertained and educated, was an experience that appeals to all the senses. This makes it obvious to introduce the notion of the ‘sensory body’, since not only sight but also hearing, touch, smell and taste are called upon in a variety of and in complex ways at every moment of the visit. Through different approaches, this book aims to transcribe the experiences of visitors to art exhibitions during the long eighteenth century (1680-1815) in Europe, based on visual and textual sources, and understood in the broadest sense of the term.

Au XVIIIe siècle, les expositions d’art organisées au Louvre à Paris par l’Académie royale de Peinture et de Sculpture créent un événement socioculturel inédit, qui a rapidement suscité la curiosité et l’envie du public de province et des autres nations. La visite du Salon du Louvre ou de toute autre exposition d’art, où s’entremêlent la volonté de se divertir et celle de s’instruire, se présente alors comme une expérience où les différents sens sont sollicités. Il est alors possible d’introduire la notion de « corps sensoriel », car non seulement la vue, mais encore l’ouïe, le toucher, l’odorat et le goût sont interpelés de manière variée et complexe à tout moment de la visite. À travers différentes approches, ce livre vise à retranscrire les expériences des visiteurs des expositions d’art entendues dans leur acception la plus large durant le long XVIIIe siècle (1680-1815) en Europe en s’appuyant sur les sources visuelles et textuelles de l’époque.
